<div dir="auto"><div>If it were me I'd just reinstall Linux unless you want to go through the pain of fixing whatever dependencies got broken. The good news is it sounds like you've learned early on not to use dpkg directly as it will trivially and quietly allow you to break your install since it doesn't deal with dependencies. synaptic (GUI), aptitude (text ui) and apt-get are all better package management options unless you know precisely what and why you are doing something from a package standpoint.<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 12, 2016 6:00 PM, "Dan Norton" <<a href="mailto:dnorton@mindspring.com">dnorton@mindspring.com</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I'm trying to move off Doze7 to Debian Linux (jessie).

- check that /home/d/cuis/cogspur/cogspurli<wbr>nux/lib/squeak/5.0-3397//vm-<wbr>display-X11.so exists, or<br>
- use the '-plugins <path>' option to tell me where it is, or<br>
- remove DISPLAY from your environment.<br>
Aborted<br>
<br>
This did not occur prior to removal with dpkg and the file "vm-display-X11" is exactly where it's always been, so I think Spur needed one or more of those lib* files I deleted. BTW, GNOME, email, browser, gedit seem unaffected.<br>
<br>
Any help in identifying what Spur needs to find that driver would be much appreciated.<br>
