Ok, I'll close it. BTW: What do you think about adding a very simple log function to dpkg? It would be nice to have a log file which says at what time you have installed package xyz, e.g. Tue Oct 24 00:29:30 MET 1995 phyton-1.2-1 [new] Tue Oct 24 00:29:45 MET 1995 netbase-1.19-1 [updated from netbase-1.16-1] Tue Oct 24 00:29:58 MET 1995 wu-ftpd-2.4-13 [removed] or something like that.

I edited that out too, tried again, and it replaced it with an identical-looking entry. Then I got a prompt about shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.rshd I give up. Unfortunately I can't revert to 1.18 because of the security problem with fingerd.
