System name:		deliverator.MIT.EDU
Type and version:	IP22 8.0H
Display type:		GR3-XZ

What were you trying to do?
	Take the 8.0G update


What went wrong?
	It nuked my /etc/printcap file


What should have happened?
	Well since the file it put there was entirely comments, and
our printer stuff uses that file under some circumstances, blowing it
away seems silly.  I would suggest putting it in the exception list
for track.


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	I think it copied tyhe version off of /os.
