Hey Benny!

 BP> i have only 2.25,

I noticed that.  Most of the packages I use are up to date with 2.26 but I
understand why many would avoid it at this point in time.

 BP> stay safe on kernel versions for a while

Understood.  I still haven't checked out if the drm driver works again with
linux-4.15 kernels but for sure linux-4.9 kernels did.

 MK>>         BIND-8.2.3-T5B

 BP> bind8 still in use ?

I am guessing it is a compatibilty issue.  What does /lib/libc.so.6 report on
your system?

 BP> do you like to try elfutils ?

Only since linux-4.14 kernels.  Also I know that it is a dependency for efi
booting, not that I am currently using efi booting.

Life is good,
Maurice

... Don't cry for me I have vi.
