Thanks for the fast help. I have just executed 'dpkg -P linux-base'. So it is now safe to reboot computer (after having issued 'lilo' too), is that right? I ask this because I see that the "dpkg -P" above reput the old version of /etc/ files, but it seems that not all of them. fstab is identical to fstab.old, but blkid.tab for ex. is not identical to blkid.tab: snoopy:/etc# diff blkid.tab blkid.tab.old -uw --- blkid.tab 2010-03-02 23:13:48.000000000 +0100 +++ blkid.tab.old 2010-03-02 23:03:53.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -<device DEVNO="0x0801" TIME="1267568028" LABEL="EFI" UUID="2860-11F4" TYPE="vfat">/dev/sda1</device> -<device DEVNO="0x0802" TIME="1267568028" UUID="6457f43c-2eb5-3e47-a18e-79e568b00bb6" TYPE="hfsplus">/dev/sda2</device> -<device DEVNO="0x0803" TIME="1267568028" UUID="9c8a6e97-321e-47c2-862f-1ac48d6ee292" TYPE="reiserfs">/dev/sda3</device> -<device DEVNO="0x0804" TIME="1267568028" TYPE="swap" LABEL="snoopy-swap">/dev/sda4</device> +<device DEVNO="0x0801" TIME="1267567433" LABEL="EFI" UUID="2860-11F4" TYPE="vfat">/dev/sda1</device> +<device DEVNO="0x0802" TIME="1267567433" UUID="6457f43c-2eb5-3e47-a18e-79e568b00bb6" TYPE="hfsplus">/dev/sda2</device> +<device DEVNO="0x0803" TIME="1267567433" UUID="9c8a6e97-321e-47c2-862f-1ac48d6ee292" TYPE="reiserfs">/dev/sda3</device> +<device DEVNO="0x0804" TIME="1267567433" TYPE="swap">/dev/sda4</device> snoopy:/etc# l blkid.tab blkid.tab.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 432 Mar 2 23:13 blkid.tab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 412 Mar 2 23:03 blkid.tab.old There was also a file under udev modified, if I remember correctly, but I do not see which one in /etc/udev/ -- Eugen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
