Hi Peter! Actually apt and dselect are frontends to the real Debian package management tool - "dpkg" They both assusme that if the package is installed - it does not need to be reinstalled - which is perfectly true unless the packege is broken - like in your case. (BTW - there should be an option for apt to force reinstalls, shouldn't it?) In your case the best way is to: dpkg -i libstdc++2.9-dev_2.91.60-5.deb which installs the package. Also, if you have Midnight Commander you can try tapping enter on the package file and then be able to browse/install the package contents. hope this helps, Marcin -- -------------------------------- Marcin Owsiany [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------
