Yes, I did it the old-fashioned tar.Z way.

Yes, this is the Kidlink LISTSERV. We have both moved to a new machine 
and upgraded from 14.3 to 14.4. The new machine is a SuSE Enterprise 
Server 9 system with a 2.6 kernel. The old machine was a Debian system 
with a 2.4 kernel.

I did a completely fresh install of 14.3 from the tar.Z's on our new 
machine. I then copied over all of our list and archive files from our 
old 14.3 installation. This went smoothly and both the lists themselves 
and the web archives worked smoothly.

The next step was the upgrade to 14.4. I did unpacked the tar.Z's and 
did a make update. It is possible that I unpacked the wrong version of 
common.tar.Z but I don't think so. It seemed to work smoothly. The 
release command shows:

LISTSERV(R) for unix version 14.4, managed by:

I have just downloaded common.tar.Z again from:

ftp://ftp.lsoft.com/LISTSERV/UNIX/

The file information is:

common.tar.Z  	1663 KB  	05/06/20  	16:44:00

When I untar this, I find:

-rw-------    1 wheeledd  wheeledd   153219 May 21  2002 listkeyw.memo

but there is no listkwd.file in it!

I have also looked in my temporary install directory for 14.4 and found 
this file:

-rw-------  1      502   502    2653 2005-04-19 09:35 listkwd.file

The temporary directory for 14.3 contains:

-rw-------  1       15 users    2616 2004-11-30 21:38 listkwd.file

This matches the file size for the file in my current 14.4 installation. 
My tentative diagnosis is that the make update failed to copy the new 
listkwd.file.

What do you recommend that I do now? Is it enough to copy the 
listkwd.file to the right place or are there other things I should check?
