"Exactly" means an error message I can grep for in tasksel's source. > I didn't know about looking in /var/lib/dpkg/available. Thanks, > I'll try it. It sounds very much like you've been running 'apt-get update' for a long time, so dpkg's available file is out of date. Perhaps there's a possible workaround in tasksel, although it's primarily (not exclusively) intended for use in new installs. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
