Broken Library : How to fix?
Hi all, I'm having a little trouble installing the python-base package on a Potato system. Here's where it gets up to: (Reading database ... 30058 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking python-base (from .../python-base_1.5.2-10potato11_i386.deb) ... Setting up python-base (1.5.2-10potato11) ... python: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directo y So it looks like libreadline is broken. How do I fix this? I can't even figure out which package libreadline.so.3 is part of. Any help appreciated. Regards, Erik -- --------- Erik de Castro Lopo [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Yes its valid) - J.

FIXED : Re: libtool broken (was Re: Gcc broken. How to fix?)
Hi all, The only way I could get libtool working again, was to install it from source (bypassing dpkg) and then with that working libtool reinstallation went fine. This suggests that libtool is recursively dependant on itself. This can be proved as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > apt-get remove libtool Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

Gcc broken. How to fix?
Hi all, I had a crash on my laptop (battery died) which has left me with a broken GCC.

Configuring daemons to autorun

Man pages
Hi all, I'm a new Debian user (been using other distributions for about 5 years) and I seem to be missing some man pages on my new Debian system. I'm missing manpages for ptrace, termios, fcntl and others. The command "dpkg -l |grep man" turns up (among others) ii manpages 1.29-2 Man pages about using a Linux system. ii manpages-dev 1.29-2 Linux-development man pages. but neither of these seem contain the required man pages. On Redhat all three of these man pages are in an RPM called man-pages-1.28-6.rpm. Anybody got any clues as to why I missing these man pages?
