Hi all, I ended up getting it working, but the commands people suggested had no noticable effect..
I had to edit the symlinks by hand to get them to work.. most of the problem seems to be that mandrake added -cups to the links, when the file to link to was a link to a cups util, but the link name itself did not have -cups in it... same with the mail stuff and -postfix etc etc... This was a dead standard install (not upgrade) of mdk9.0, so I don't know what the deal is with that.. Still, its fixed now, just hope I don't have to do that with all the installs. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Robert Wohlfarth Sent: Tuesday, 3 December 2002 3:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [expert] problems with msec daily On Mon, 2002-12-02 at 03:16, Franki wrote: > I am gettng that same error, but mine is worse.. > > bzcat: Can't open input file ./newaliases.1.bz2: No such file or directory. > bzcat: Can't open input file ./mailq.1.bz2: No such file or directory. > bzcat: Can't open input file ./lpr.1.bz2: No such file or directory. > bzcat: Can't open input file ./lpq.1.bz2: No such file or directory. > bzcat: Can't open input file ./lprm.1.bz2: No such file or directory. > bzcat: Can't open input file ./lp.1.bz2: No such file or directory. > bzcat: Can't open input file ./cancel.1.bz2: No such file or directory. > bzcat: Can't open input file ./lpstat.1.bz2: No such file or directory. > bzcat: Can't open input file ./aliases.5.bz2: No such file or directory. > bzcat: Can't open input file ./lpc.8.bz2: No such file or directory. I was having the same trouble. Try these commands: update-alternatives --auto lp update-alternatives --auto lpr update-alternatives --auto lpstat update-alternatives --auto cancel update-alternatives --auto lprm update-alternatives --auto lpq update-alternatives --auto mta_newaliases update-alternatives --auto mta_mailq update-alternatives --auto mta_aliasesman The complete list of possible links is in /etc/alternatives. -- Robert Wohlfarth [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" -- Matthew 6:25b
