A possibly naive question: apt-get will refuse to install packages if their dependencies aren't met. Why can't dinstall do the same? It would put any newly uploaded package in a waiting queue until all its dependencies were met. It wouldn't help with out and out buggy programs but at least it would catch dependency problems. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
