Re: perl 5.6 potato
If you need to upgrade your libc6 you have to do it at first. Otherwise you can't use tools like dpkg. It's very angry if this will happens. So note: You need always a working perl, dpkg needs it. If you're going to upgrade libc remember to keep a backup of: - the original packages (libc6, libc6-dev, libdb2) (in general: a backup of every package that you upgrade) - ldconfig (the executable, not the package) - dpkg (idem) You might want to return to the old version Iwan.
Re: Does Debian change permissions automatically??
As a regular user (not root) I want to be able to do a 'tail -f /var/log/messages' whenever I dialup my ISP. This is all set up fine but there is a recurring permissions problem: every time I reboot, *something* changes the group permissions of /var/log/messages FROM: -rw-r-1 root adm225523 May 18 13:15 /var/log/messages ^^^ BACK TO: -rw-r-1 root root 225523 May 18 13:15 /var/log/messages I chgrp back to adm, and something changes it back to root, etc. AFAIK only /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd touches /var/log/messages. check that this file contains this line (or something similar): savelog -g adm -m 640 -u root -c 4 $LOG /dev/null ^ also: man syslogd-listfiles man savelog Iwan.

Re: three questions about modules
* Benjamin Black [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010422 21:35]: 1.) the default behavior for debian seems to be to run modprobe on all modules listed in /etc/modules at boot time, without -k (autoclean). is there a way to change this behavior? edit /etc/init.d/modutils 2.) i've looked through some of the kernel docs, but it seems that the only place i can find the names that the kernel uses to refer to devices, i.e. char-major-14 for sound, is in the documentation for each specific module, and most of the time it's not even listed there. where can i find a list of all the names that the kernel uses for devices when it calls modprobe to load a module? read linux-src-dir/Documentation/devices.txt
Re: removing obsolete packages
* Karsten M. Self kmself@ix.netcom.com [010404 09:45]: What you want is apt-get clean autoclean only removes packages that can no longer be downloaded. ...which is to say, packages which have been replaced by updated versions. What he wants _is_ autoclean, why it's not working, or his understanding of its workings, is a mystery. If this is the expected behaviour: samwise:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -l konqueror ii konqueror 2.1.1-0.potato3 KDE's advanced File Manager, Web Browser and Document Viewer samwise:/var/cache/apt/archives# ls konqueror* konqueror_2.1.0.1-0.potato4_i386.deb konqueror_2.1.1-0.potato1_i386.deb konqueror_2.1.1-0.potato3_i386.deb samwise:/var/cache/apt/archives# apt-get -s autoclean | grep konqueror Del konqueror 2.1.0.1-0.potato4 [1197kB] Del konqueror 2.1.1-0.potato1 [1200kB] Del konqueror 2.1.1-0.potato3 [1200kB] then I'm sure my understanding of autoclean is wrong. Iwan.
removing obsolete packages
Hi, is there a way to delete packages from the cache (or from some other directory) for which a newer package exists in that directory. My /var/cache/apt/archives has several versions of lots of packages and I want to remove them. apt-get autoclean doesn't seem to do what I want. Iwan.
Re: named: suddenly NSTATS messages in syslog?
* Ralf G. R. Bergs [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010309 19:18]: But it does this once EVERY HOUR?! Any other ideas?! add this to the options block in /etc/bind/named.conf statistics-interval 0; or change it to a large value, like 1440 (=24*60). The former will disable the statistics while the latter will force bind to dump its statistics only once a day. I mean I can easily filter it with logcheck, but I'm wondering why this suddenly appears in syslog?! Don't know. You can change the debugging level by sending named signals, but I don't think you can change the statistics-interval dynamically. Iwan.
