I think Curtis was thinking more of packages that were in potato and are no longer available in woody. For that, I'd advise using dselect and removing everything under "Obsolete/Local" unless they're local packages you know you want to keep. Some of the apt frontends may be able to do the same thing - I don't use them, so I wouldn't know. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
