I'd like to point out here also, that when I tried to uninstall a package, but it failed due to a dependency problem, the first "i" changed even though the package was still installed, because apparently my attempt to remove the packages changed the first state to a desired of purge. Seems that this isn't always the right formula. Perhaps this? dpkg -l '*' | perl -ne 'print if substr($_,1,1) eq "i"' Mike -- Michael P.
