Here is command line:

Code:

dawgie[~]$ sudo xnetpkg

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Note that sudo does not seem to be working properly whereas su does!

Hi,

You need to give the user the right to use sudo in
/etc/sudoers using visudo

# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
jim ALL=(ALL) ALL

The problem is that you mixed current and snapshot repositories. You should either downgrade everything to current or upgrade everything to snapshot (which should become 5.4 soon). There is a guide in the Zenwalk wiki to help you with upgrading.
