I was hoping that: | aptitude search '~i!~Odebian' was the command that I ran successfully as part of the upgrade from Sarge to Etch and had forgotten. If it is the same command, it is now behaving quite differently. I refrained from posting the output that it now produces because the output is lengthy and I wanted to conserve bandwidth. But here are the first few lines of that output: | i a2ps - GNU a2ps - 'Anything to PostScript' conver | i A abiword-common - WYSIWYG word processor based on GTK2 | i A abiword-gnome - WYSIWYG word processor based on GTK2/GNOME | i abiword-help - online help for AbiWord | i adduser - Add and remove users and groups | i afio - archive file manipulation program | i A akregator - RSS feed aggregator for KDE | i alien - install non-native packages with dpkg | i alsa-base - ALSA driver configuration files | i alsa-oss - ALSA wrapper for OSS applications | i alsa-utils - ALSA utilities I hope that makes things clearer. It is just a niggle. Etch works like a charm! Felix Karpfen -- Felix Karpfen Public Key 72FDF9DF (DH/DSA) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
