I have the same problem, and there's NO solution to it UNFORTUNATELY. You can use cfengine to keep configurations in synch, but not for packages. In my case, I have about 6 machines in a cluster, but they do NOT have the same packages installed. The only solution is to use dpkg in each and every one of them :-( :-( Carlos -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
