How about the PAckages with "Distribution: unstable" shouldnt we change this

There was one: a "baby-gnu". It was decided to drop it following the
troubles with the FSF (the "lignux" stuff).
I still have copies:

This is exactly my problem. The _anonymous_ users still can use the "ls"
command even though there is no ~ftp/bin/ls binary! How's that possible?

Hi!
I've got a problem with ghostscript and TeX. I convert a TeX file to
postscript with dvips and print it with gs.
If I use gs-4.01, the characters are "cut off" at the very right side (of
each character!). This is not much so you have to look very carefully to
see it, but when you use italic,
