Yeah you really need to remove all the ximian packages from your box and then install the woody ones. If you leave any ximian packages on there you could be in for some unexpected and nasty surprises. You can do a dpkg --get-selections | grep ximian to find out which packages on your system are ximian. I had this problem and tried just apt-get dist-upgrading and that just brought on a dependency hell where I couldn't fulfill all dependencies and packages were trying to overwrite each other. I eventually just had to wipe it clean and start over with a fresh install. -- -Peace kid Scott Henson [EMAIL PROTECTED] "God's the ultimate playa, so naturally He's going to have some haters," rapper Ice Cube said.
