Sure, done ! - Download takes hours, so I'll report back when it is ready. I'll keep the line(s), as well. Very good job on your side; and things *can* break. What is not good, though, is the lack of information; somehow. I googled intensely; read all archives, lists. Nothing. Didn't think of a bug report. Invested > 1 hour. No solution. Wrote to the list; had some good hints (meaning: more people involved - kind of uselessly). IMHO, there must be a repository, a list, a means to get a message like this one out. There are and were hundreds of 'broken for me' on this list; if not thousands. The most obvious thing to do, is a list of some kind that confirms 'broken' or 'currently broken' and finally 'unbroken'. Would save everyone plenty of time to consult such a list !: If something doesn't work, consult it, find out someone (maintainer) confirms breakage. Done. Simply wait for the 'unbroken'. One might write a small application with tags; an info on status like mail in a systray; and so on and so forth. To me this list preferably came in parallel to the package update(s); maybe as extra file: # apt-get update Hit.....Get.... Hit .....[....] Fetched 383kB in 1m31s (4171B/s) Reading Package Lists... Done Of the packages installed on your system, mozilla-thunderbird is currently marked as broken since Aug-28-2006. Of the packages installed on your system, myphoto has been marked as unbroken since Sep-02-2006. or similar. Would have saved me plenty of time. Multiplied by tens, who were doing similar inquisitions as myself. What do you think ? Uwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
