THANK YOU for your response Peter. deviant:/home/devadmin# dpkg -l | grep squid ii sarg 2.2.5-2 squid analysis report generator rc squid 2.7.STABLE9-2.1 Internet object cache (WWW proxy cache) ii squid-cgi 3.1.6-1.2+squeeze1 A full featured Web Proxy cache (HTTP proxy) - control CGI ii squid-common 2.7.STABLE9-2.1 Internet object cache (WWW proxy cache) - common files ii squid-langpack 20100628-1 Localized error pages for Squid rc squid3 3.1.6-1.2+squeeze1 A full featured Web Proxy cache (HTTP proxy) ii squid3-common 3.1.6-1.2+squeeze1 A full featured Web Proxy cache (HTTP proxy) - common files ii squidclient 3.1.6-1.2+squeeze1 A full featured Web Proxy cache (HTTP proxy) - control utility But yeah basically after I failed to compiled a newer version, because I need SSL, I just decided I would reinstall the vanilla squid3.1.6 from debian squeeze repos, but when I installed it, it kept complaining about files missing, as if somehow some symlinks were made, and Im guessing that make install from debian 3.1.8 must have not cleaned up after itself after doing a 'make uninstall' of course im totally freaking out coz producting is in 5 hours and I just figured Id clarify.
