It should be, yes. Report bugs if it's not. > Someone told me about "aptitude", but > (again) I lack some libraries to compile a recent version of it. Upgrading with aptitude would probably be useful. You might try: (add woody to /etc/apt/sources.list) apt-get update apt-get install aptitude # Gets most recent version aptitude Pressing 'g' will take you to a screen listing *everything* that's being upgraded/removed; pressing 'g' again will actually do it. You can look at what's being changed and alter the automatic selections if you feel like; this is probably more informative and a little safer (in the general "know what's on your system" sense) than a blind 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
