The _first_ time that was so. It told me that mozilla-diggler and -tabextensions were incompatible and so firefox would be removed. I put them on hold so as to keep firefox. After a subsequent update, I looked at the dependencies for diggler and tab extensions and neither reported any incompatibility with firefox. I guess I must have missed something - because you're absolutely right that aptitude usually tells me exactly what to expect - but, on this occasion, there appeared to be no problem. Nonetheless, firefox was removed. I'll try to pay better attention next time! Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
