I lied (about resting my case), sorry. I do have libgtk2.0-0 and libgtk2.0-common installed, which I don't consider a problem. "aptitude upgrade" runs clean without trying to drag anything else in. Fine. Small price to pay. No, I haven't done anything to apt.conf, and this is a system installed with Desktop Environment de-selected on install. If I were paranoid, I'd be suspicious somebody slipped a DD a bribe. :-P CUPS is beginning to look like the crapware that pays to get installed on Windows machines. I can see no reason for it when lpr(ng) is quite capable of doing the job in its place. Honest, I'm trying not to whine :-P, and I really am grateful I've such a great, clean system. I'd just like to keep it that way, and the packaging system+CUPS+Gnome are not helping. Fluxbox is a perfectly good wm, and lprng is a perfectly good spooler. Why CUPS is continually after its ass is puzzling (not to mention infuriating). -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
