Run aptitude with no parameters, then limit the list (Ctrl-l) to those packages on hold (~ahold). Then select the header of all packages on hold and hit "+" to mark them for install. This removes the hold. Then do an update to get the current version. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
