Listmates, Picking around with mc, I saw a file that looked really out of place. In my / dir, I have 20-ups-nut-device.fdi. Shouldn't that be in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/. I plead the 5th, I don't know how it got there. This is on my x86_64 box. The date and time of the file are: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12367 2008-06-17 08:39 20-ups-nut-device.fdi [20:05 alchemy:/] # pacman -Qo 20-ups-nut-device.fdi error: No package owns 20-ups-nut-device.fdi Dunno? Can somebody take a quick check and see if they have this stray .fdi file in their / directory. It looks like a 'network ups tools' (nut) policy, but why it's in / escapes me. -- David C.
