François. François, Update... I'm still trying to catch info from an X/KDE crash I get randomly; but the last one happened since the above problem... I noticed yesterday that my LICQ was not running and when I tried to start it, it gave: licq: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [1]+ Exit 127licq Since there is no readily available info on how to restore a missing library, I just installed egcs and egcs-c++ which gave me the library... How does this relate to the original problem...? On a lark, I tried to run Software Installer again, and it started (instead of hanging as reported previously)... so, I tried to update SSH... # ssh -v OpenSSH_2.9.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f SI correctly says openssh2.9.9p2-2.1mdk is installed; but when I try to update it, I get the Errors found screen with: Some errors where encountered while checking your wishes: ^ typo in SI! Should be were. Packages already installed openssh-3.0.2p1-1.1mdk, openssh-clients-3.0.2p1-1.1mdk, openssh-server-3.0.2p1-1.1mdk Sorry, but all packages raised an error. So I can't proceed with the installation. # rpm -qa | grep openssh openssh-clients-2.9.9p2-2.1mdk openssh-2.9.9p2-2.1mdk openssh-server-2.9.9p2-2.1mdk and rpm --rebuilddb does not help... LM8.1 SI has some serious flaws from my perspective and since the average user can do security updates if they encounter these problems, it translates to can't do security updates... hence a security issue... Any luck with the files yet...? Pierre

François. Thanks. BTW, this is on a mostly stock LM8.1, so it's a general timebomb and will likely need an update asap. I'd like to get my system back in working order quickly; but I can wait if you want any files or other info from it... Pierre

I was puzzled how that happened, and always looking for the root cause, this is what I found: NS4.78: Reply: puts only [EMAIL PROTECTED] in headers Reply All: puts ONLY [EMAIL PROTECTED] in headers SIGH Anyway, I responded to your 2nd e-mail where you quoted yourself: # [EMAIL PROTECTED] (François Pons) writes: # #Pierre Fortin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: # # [snip] # And I forget, please do that before: NS makes it so hard to grab the address link that I just copied your address from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] (François Pons) writes: line... I'm trying to find a better mailer; NS just pissed me off for the last time the other day. Sylpheed looks decent; but the import does not suit me. I'm using pine remotely on occasion for *new* mail (no filters); but haven't had time to consider it for fulltime use... my problem is that I have 163MB+ in 136 mailboxes with nearly as many filters, so conversion one box at a time sucks... Will try to be more careful next time; though you might remove ackbar from your setup too... :^) Thanks for the info, Hope it's useful... let me know if you want me to test a fix... [installer is dead anyway] François. Pierre
