I guess I had better answer my oun question. 1st - Remember to THINK
before you send mail to the list and ask a DUMB question!
If gnome-panel needs libgtk-1.1.so.2 and you have libgtk-1.1.so.3
OF COURSE apt-get won't upgrade you to a lower version! So, IF you
think, you only have to remove the higher version (1.1.so.3) and all
the packages that are using it, and then up-grade those packages!
Then the correct version libgtk-1.1.so.2 get installed.
Sorry guys, too much shopping and running around and not enog\ugh
sleep. It was clear as a bell when I got up and thought about it
today.
Sorry for the FUD!!
