There is one problem there in that there's already a libdb1 package providing libdb.so.1.85.4, and although the differences are small I think they're enough for it to be incompatible. The compatibility package would have to be called something else. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
