Well, the problem was that I wanted to install qmail from the author's pristine sources, so it couldn't really be under dpkg management. Basically, I needed equivs to satisfy the dependencies. What was weird is, you can force a installation of mutt using dselect, but after that, unless this particular dependency is satisfied, apt-get refuse to install any other packages, even if they are unrelated. -- John______________________________________________________________________ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quis custodiet ipsos custodes icq: thales @ 17755648
