Unidentified subject!
I am having troubles trying to upgrade to potato using apt-get. I enter 'apt-get update' and get the following: Fetched 445kB in 2m16s (3269B/s) Reading Package Lists... Error! E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room E: Error occured while processing lwm (NewVersion1) E: Problem with MergeList /var/state/apt/lists/http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_frozen_main_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. I have already done this several times before now and even have a /var/cache/apt/packages full of 191 megabytes of uninstalled packages. The 'apt-get dist-upgrade' earlier gave up after not being able to download a package I never requested. All attempts to force install the rest have been unsuccessful. The packages that won't download are libpam runtime and modules. So how do I force install the other stuff? Phil B.
Some apt-get problems
I am trying this again with a decent subject line. Sorry about that. Phil I am having troubles trying to upgrade to potato using apt-get.

WTF
Hi. Last night I did much apt-get upgrade by including frozen on my sources.list. I have basically 2.1 (slink) installed from cd from _Learning Debian GNU/Linux_ book. The problem is: I use procmail. Before upgrading I had man pages for procmail and procmailex. This morning I go to edit my .procmailrc file; jump to xterm to read man procmailex; and get the following. $ man procmailex Updating index cache for path `/usr/man'. Wait...man: can't open /usr/man/man1/gnuserv.1: No such file or directory man: warning: /usr/man/man1/gnudoit.xemacs20.1.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request man: can't open /usr/man/man1/gnuserv.1: No such file or directory man: warning: /usr/man/man1/gnuclient.xemacs20.1.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request man: can't open /usr/man/man1/gnuserv.1: No such file or directory man: warning: /usr/man/man1/gnuattach.xemacs20.1.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request man: can't open /usr/man/man1/gnuserv.1: No such file or directory man: warning: /usr/man/man1/gnuclient.1.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request man: can't open /usr/man/man1/gnuserv.1: No such file or directory man: warning: /usr/man/man1/gnuattach.1.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request man: can't open /usr/man/man1/gnuserv.1: No such file or directory man: warning: /usr/man/man1/gnudoit.1.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request man: warning: /usr/man/man1/pstogif.1.gz is a dangling symlink man: can't open /usr/man/man1/pstogif.1: No such file or directory man: warning: /usr/man/man1/pstogif.1.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request Updating index cache for path `/usr/man'.

Re: your mail
Um ... I think this is the list for Debian GNU/Linux. You might get better results on a Red Hat mailing list.

Re: Pine (Was: [Fwd: dependencies rpoblem])
Thanks for this. Phil If you're running potato (or probably woody) you can get an unauthorized Pine binary from http://members.mint.net/frodo/pine/ noah On Wed, 21 Jun 2000, Andrew Sullivan wrote: On Tue, Jun 20, 2000 at 10:09:19PM +, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 2.1. One thing I missed right off the bat is the Pine mailer. It is not available from Debian AFAIK. Yes, it is available _from_ Debian, but only as source. That's because pine does not install (by default) according to Debian policy, and the copyright holders on pine do not allow you to distribute altered binaries. Therefore, pine is in non-free (and, just to be clear, it's not part of official Debian). There's also a set of diffs for altering pine to make it Debianized. A
Re: [Fwd: dependencies rpoblem]
After having used SuSE for almost a year, I have just installed Debian 2.1. One thing I missed right off the bat is the Pine mailer. It is not available from Debian AFAIK. I downloaded it this morning and now have it working. The problem I run into is I am pbburton on the Linux system but p.b.burton at my ISP. To resolve this you have to configure it normally to access your system mailbox, then create a role/alias with which the problem you describe is resolved. With Pine it works like a charm. When I reply (as I'm doing now) Pine prompts you and asks if you want to use your alias. Y and everything works.

How can I convince postfix to rewrite my From: address not only to a different hostname (this one I found in the docs), but also to a different username. (Maybe the problem is that I don't really understand the mail admin jargon). This isn't really a MTA issue, more an MUA issue. There should be some way to configure your mail program so that it uses [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a return address instead of your real username. jpb -- Joe Block [EMAIL PROTECTED] CREOL System Administrator
Fetchmail problem
Just recently installed 2.1. Standalone box with dialout ppp net connection. Running fetchmail and sendmail. The .fetchmailrc file says 'set daemon 600' but the daemon keeps dying on me so I have to manually do it over and over. I have used fetchmail on my previous system (SuSE) and have not encountered this before. I tried 'fetchmail -N ' (following some esr open-source advice) at the command line but it fares no better. Anyone have any idea what might be going on here? Thanks. Phil
