I'm all for that. Right now there's so many different versions and perl packages (dependencies and conflicts) that i can't make heads or tails of it. It's to the point that right now when i update sid, i just do an update by hand in capt of everything that *doesn't* involve perl, since everything on my system appears to be working at the moment, and i'd like it to stay that way. However, it is annoying that i can't just do a regular 'apt-get' to solve my updates, since it always wants to do the perl stuff... I see this is supposed to be fixed in unstable...but my packages appear to be having some conflicts...any suggestions? dave
