This has irritated me for years now. It's mainly a problem because the Debian system seems to be based on the assumption that new releases will come every few months, when they actually happen every few *years*. Only solution I can find is learning to compile software and create one's own debs, which kind of defeats the advantage of using a package manager. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] I-Con's Science and Technology Programming <http://www.iconsf.org/>
