Hmmm.... 'dpkg -C' reports no problem packages. Not only that a check of required dependencies shows that they are all installed. Also konqueror had been working properly for quite a while. It's only been since the past few dist-upgrades against my Sid box that it's stopped working. Thanks, Matt. -- I'm not advocating that anyone take up emacs. Not even me: at my age, I'd be more likely to try bungee-jumping. It's easier, and has less risk of causing permanent brain damage. ** A posting on ZDNet forum
