Well, just to bring this issue to conclusion, I want to report that I finally bit the bullet and switched to debian. I then ran the command above (or something very similar, actually), and the problem I mentioned indeed went away. And now that I'm debian-ized, I'm finding it a to be lot easier to keep my system in a self-consistent state. I heartily recommend this to other non-debian linux users. Thanks for your suggestion. -- Lloyd Zusman ljz@asfast.com
