Oh you are just Debian Mental
With good reason I suspect. Beside "apt" for Redhat didn't work too well for me, I had to use "yuk" or whatever it's called*, to get sensible behaviour. My boss muttered something about a Redhat to Debian upgrade (there is no other word for it) path...... I didn't need to think twice - the answer was "no" - been through "upgrades" from one packaging tool to another (HP-UX 9 to HP-UX 10), which was officially supported up to the point someone actually did it (as far as I can tell). The right way in such circumstances is always to reinstall..... that way the packaging system has knowledge of the full state of the system (or at least a fighting chance). If I sound bitter, I've been compiling the latest version of sendmail from source all afternoon - all done now - but does anyone know how I was suppose to link in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB4.2/lib/libdb-4.2.so ? sh Build -c -I/usr/local/B..../include/ -L/usr/local/B.../lib/ Got it to link, but at run time it barfed about not being able to get the db-4.2 shared library, and sure enough ldd agreed. In the end I just linked the static library in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB/lib , lets hope 50 copies of the library in memory doesn't take up too much RAM. Simon *yum
