Apparently, there is an error in the testing/unstable console-common packages. I tried installing console-common from stable, testing and unstable and ony the stable package worked! Other people (i think i saw it also in the german and french user lists) have been reporting this problem too. So it could happen to you if your upgrade your console-common package. For the other problem (messages to console despite KLOGD="-c 3") i haven't found a sollution yet Benedict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
