Hmm; I just did a dist-upgrade on my system (using Sid), and fired up K3b as a normal user. I did not get any such warning. This, along with your Konqueror issues, makes me wonder; did you install Debian and have stuck with Debian, or did you maybe start with Knoppix/Ubuntu/etc, and maybe have added in some non-Debian sources? If the latter, that could be the cause of your woes. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
