Which apparently has now become "wv". Today, while installing wv and
upgrading all of the x libs this required, I managed to crash fvwm for the
first time ever, resulting in dpkg terminating halfway through xdm. I'm
sure you see why this is bad. (well, I mean worse than using xdm in the
first place. :)
After 15 minutes of fun with package pools, lynx and gpm, I've got X
running again, wv appears to depend on a package that doesn't exist,
(libwmf0.<version>) so it was all a lot of fun for nothing. Bret is
fortunate he is not posting today. :)
