I've got dselect using the 'apt' method, if it's relavent. A few days ago dselect had trouble when I was updating the package list, I -think- the download managed to die is such a fasion that they were truncated to zero. Since then it thinks all the packages that aren't installed are "new", even after further updates.
Also, there are a few files that show up in the package list under the "Up to date" section like this: *** Req base base-files 2.0.3 2.0.3 Debian Base System Miscel Why does it want to update the file (the *'s, I assume mean that) when I have the latest one installed? Last bit: Do the version numbers tell us when packages really need to be updated. For example there's plenty in the dselect list like this: *== Req base kbd 0.96a-6 0.96a-7 Linux console font and k where just the -7 has changed. IS it really worth updating that? bekj -- : --Hacker-Neophile-Eclectic-Geek-Grrl-Gay-Disabled-Boychick-- : [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tertius.net.au/~gossamer/ : It's God.
