Your idea sounds good to me, but I'm new to apt having just installed it last week. I do know, however, that dpkg -i package-name.deb will replace the package and keep all the dependencies correctly, so if you want to download the actual deb file, you could do that.
Corey Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------ Hi folks, just some practical question. Does there exist a simple mechanism to reinstall a package, that might be broken by some error? If i use dselect, all dependencies are also checked and lots of packages might be removed. would dpkg -r --force-depends XXX ; apt-get install XXX do what i want ? (Don't like to check it, not to get in trouble :-) ) Thanks, Ingo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com
