Setup.exe snapshots problem - fix


Some of the setup snapshots leading up to version 2.194.2.14 wrote package
list files (/etc/setup/*.lst.gz) with invalid characters in some of the
lines.

The scripts in http://home.ix.netcom.com/~mchase/zip/clean_lst.zip will
clean up the invalid lines.  They only change files that contain the invalid
lines, so there is no harm running them multiple times or in systems that
don't have any problem files.

To run:
   1.  Extract clean_lst.* into a temporary directory.
   2.  Run ./clean_lst.sh


The fix scripts require bash and Perl to run.
