If apt wants to remove packages, it is because of dependency problems. Your self-built packages probably need to be rebuilt against updated libraries. Some packages get removed because they conflict with newer ones and they should be removed. I always use "apt-get -u", so that I can check what apt is going to do. If you have a large number of packages that need upgrading, I would let apt remove things. I would then reinstall anything I needed that has been removed. This will sometimes show up dependency conflicts; if they can't be resolved, some package must be sacrificed, or else built from source. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
