Yes, but that requires making a new slink release, which takes a bit of work. That work is currently in progress. In any case, surely it is better to have a CD with a broken w3-el package than no CD at all. > Potato has been in relatively good shape as far as dependancys. For some values of "relatively". The i386 tree, counting only main, currently has 6 unsatisfied Depends relationships that I know of. I can probably eliminate all but two of them before the release. (The exeptions are libglide2-v3 depending on device3dfx-module, which the user must build locally, and tkirc depending on ircii, which is in non-US). The other architectures will definitely release with a lot of unsatisfied dependencies, due to the binary-all situation. Richard Braakman
