Sorry! If you're seeming to duck for cover then I must have come across
as rude :-(.  I didn't mean to, I was just a little worried that I'd
broken something and I see now that I did use the wrong syntax as you
say.  

However, I've since checked for broken dependencies and done a new round
of update, upgrade and then dist-upgrade and one error remains that is
independent of syntax errors on my part - and which still has me
concerned.  This is the latest output: 

Checking GPG signatures...
Committing changes...
Preparing...                ###########################################

   1:raidtools              ###########################################
[100%]
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /sbin/mkraid: cpio:
lsetfilecon failed - Invalid argument
W: Some errors occurred while running transaction


Has anyone seen this in the last hour or two?  Will it be fixed by
waiting for the next upgrade package?  I suppose I don't need to worry
since I don't use raidtools, but nice to have a clean system :-)
