So yeasterday I apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and waited a couple of hours. (Blasted 56k!) Everything went fine, except for ppp. I get the following messages (this is after apt-get -f install): --- Preconfiguring packages ... (Reading database ... 65884 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace ppp 2.4.1-1 (using .../archives/ppp_2.4.1-4_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement ppp ... /etc/modutils/0keep: keep: command not found dpkg: warning - old post-removal script returned error exit status 127 dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ... /etc/modutils/0keep: keep: command not found dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ppp_2.4.1-4_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 127 /etc/modutils/0keep: keep: command not found dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/ppp_2.4.1-4_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) --- I think that the problem is that 'keep' is not found, whatever that is. I have verified that /etc/modutils/0keep exists, however, typing 'keep' at the prompt results in a command not found. What gives? :Peter
