My guess is that this package depends on specific versions of some libraries which will be upgraded if you go to Etch. You will probably have to compile a new version of this custom package after the system upgrade. > Also aptitude still wants to install apache* as above.

That is impossible to tell from the little information that you give us. The "-D" option of aptitude can be helpful to understand why it wants to install or remove packages automatically. (You can still cancel before it actually does something.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
