It doesn't worked, but it's likely that I'm failing to select the proper packages. And I'm still using dselect, perhaps some magic with apt-get can ease the problem ?? I did the following: marked python1.5 to be installed and python1.5-base and python-base to be purged. Because dependency issues relating the packages I've shown in my previous post (python-cddb, python-tk & al.) dselect refuses to install python1.5 and keeps python1.5-base and python-base instead. I tried several combinations, to no avail. -- Daniel Toffetti --- 'There is no spoon...' - The Matrix Running the bleeding edge Debian Sid version 3.0 Linux luni 2.4.13 #1 SMP Sun Oct 28 18:30:53 ART 2001 i686 unknown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
