It also removed hotplug, eroaster, gtoaster, & xcdroast FWTW. I use k3b, safelu hidden away in /root/kde3.whatever anyway. It didn't seem to be doing anything to my 3 pango installs either (I didn't see any messages re that go by). >you could do google on 'man apt-get' I have the $MANPATH fixed now. >> [root@coyote dlds-rpms]# apt-get update >> Get:1 http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/8.0/i386 release [1174B] >> Fetched 1174B in 0s (1849B/s) >> Hit http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/8.0/i386/os pkglist > >you have bad listing in sources.list I found that, and fixed it from freshrpms.net's list. > >> [root@coyote etc]# ls -lR apt* >> apt: >> total 32 >> -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 690 Mar 4 15:35 apt.conf >> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 30 12:56 apt.conf.d >> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 150 Apr 30 12:49 rpmpriorities >> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1854 Apr 8 07:22 sources.list >> -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1812 Apr 25 2003 sources.list~ >> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 30 12:56 sources.list.d >> -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 2339 Apr 30 12:33 sources.list.rpmnew >> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 146 Sep 27 2002 vendors.list > >Since sources.list was modified - it wasn't updated when you > reinstalled apt.

Actually I did the upgrade from a rh8 install, using the FC1 cd's I'd dld and burnt. All this didn't fix yum though, its still doing this: [root@coyote root]# yum update Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ? import yummain File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 31, in ? import yumcomps File "/usr/share/yum/yumcomps.py", line 4, in ? import comps File "/usr/share/yum/comps.py", line 5, in ? import libxml2 File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2.py", line 1, in ? import libxml2mod ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined symbol: xmlByteConsumed [root@coyote root]# Sigh... I built kde 3.2.3 using konstruct, and the last "cvs up -dP" about 10 days ago broke that so bad that I'm back on kde-3.2.0, 3.2.3 won't even init anymore, and it won't build either. Thank to intuition, the last time I formatted and reinstalled, I gave root 10Gb to play in, so I can put the whole kde install in /root/kde3.2 or /root/kde3.2.3 & all I have to do to switch is reset the env stuffs in /root/.bashrc, exit x, logout and back in and restart startx. Just for giggles & grins, whats the md5sum on your libxml2mod.so? Here its: 001cfb1b9fc59a4adad7e14f82034aee /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2mod.so >Satish -- Cheers, Gene There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty. Soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
