Previously, they were installed in .../i586/ and i686 was a symlink to that. Currently, they are installed in .../i686/ and i586 is the symlink. dpkg does not handle that case very well (i.e., not at all) Something similar happened to X as well during the hamm freeze, IIRC. A purge and reinstall will fix this problem, though. - Ruud de Rooij. -- Ruud de Rooij [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sepc.twi.tudelft.nl/~derooij/
