As a result, my distribution in the name of -stable, [3]reflects the same condition. [3] [3]We MUST get these problems fixed or we all will be forced to "look to the [3]source" for correct data. I must also report similar problems: Sup from sup2 either hangs for hours on end for no apparent reason (no Busy message) and when it does wake up, it starts deleting entire -current trees like mad. I use sup2 almost daily and have never had any problems like this since it got into operation. I _use_ this sup server constantly to upgrade my -current sources at home and have done so for the past 2 months. What speed link are you suping over? The kerberosIV collection *IS* invalid. Remove it from your supfile.
