Thank you VERY much for your response!
Sadly, as luck would have it, I managed to delete the bulk of my /var folder this weekend by being too trigger happy with rm -R and thus rendering my slug somewhat useless.
So now I’ve got a way to install Ogg Tremor but no working slug ๐ and I don’t have the time at the moment to reinstall Debian from scratch.
I’ve tried running qemu with ARM emulation with the intention of installing Etch on this virtual slug and then copy the missing /var folders and files across in an attempt to avoid reinstalling the whole thing from scratch but so far I’ve not managed to complete the Debian installation on this qemu slug.
Does anyone have a good suggestion as to how I might be able to recover my ailing slug?
Cheers
