i recently tried (and so far failed) to install printtool... and in the process i seemed to have wiped out gnome... here's what happened: i'm running 2.2r3 so i had to upgrade a lot of libraries, ect. to get to the point where i had all the nessicary files to dpkg printtool... (one file that printtool required would require 2 or 3 more files of its own) and somewhere between installing some new c libraries and lpr-ppd i seem to have removed some important gnome packages. I tried to dselect the packages to reinstall but it keeps getting hung up by the fact that i don't have this library that it needs: 'libdb.so.3' i've searched the package directory for it as well as 'libdb.so' and gotten nothing... libdb returns like 700 results and i can't browse all of those for something resembling that library. so here's what i need to know: 1. where do i get that library 2. since i've got lines in .xinitrc to start gmc and the toolbar and neither one of them start, what's the most likely file that would've gotten uninstalled by dselect while installing some c libraries and printtool (and its reqired files)?
well, i guess that last one isn't essential, but i'm really starting to get bothered by this printer that linuxprinting.org says will work 'perfectly' but won't even do an 'lptest > /dev/usb/lp0' ... did that e-mail i sent a/b it earlier make it through my slow connection, by the way? b/c i didn't get any responses anyway, i'm almost as confused as i was when i first started installing this crazy OS, so any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
