They should be known by dpkg because they're part of the package. It's impossible to support more than just the currently installed versions anyway. Once a new version of python is added, the package will still need to be updated or at least reinstalled to compile the modules for the new version. --Adam -- Adam McKenna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
