I know your pain. Dial up installations are a trip. As someone else suggested you might try removing qcad. Then you could bust out a dpkg --pending --configure and see if dpkg resumes. Good luck! (I had a similar problem with kde 2.2.1 in Sid and did an apt-get -f install and then a dpkg --pending --configure and it seemed to resolve itself, even though I didn't remove either package that had the offending file. I don't know why it worked.) > Brian > > Brian Schramm > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ 104442754 AIM schrammbrian > www.linuxexpert.org
