Thanks a lot!
I have 'testing' as my main source... now i now what you meant.
Maybe I should backup my computer before messing it up badly :-)

oh, i sort of skimmed over your email...
my sources.list have sid, or unstable, as the main repository. in other
words, i run unstable, and that's where gnome2 appeared. i made no
additional
changes to my sources.list, so i'm using different packages than you are.
here's my sources.list, but once again it's unstable (to be honest i have
had
NO problems with it)
##########
deb http://us.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sid non-US/main non-US/contrib
non-US/non-free
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
deb http://dreamind.de/debian/ sid main
########
that's my sources.list. i don't even remember what the dreamind.de source is
providing. lol.
anyway, good luck!!!
ken
