Well, that worked! I did it with the 'u - update' command in aptitude. What was the problem -- that the package list or some such had not been updated? The only trouble it gave me was an attempt to uninstall lots and lots of KDE-related packages because they were no longer needed. Could it be that the kde metapackage disappeared? -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
