Do you know aptitude's "forbid-version" command? You can forbid upgrades to specific versions of a package. Then you won't have to check the packages.qa.d.o page to see if a still newer (hopefully fixed) version is available. Aptitude will upgrade to a newer version normally, but it will keep the forbidden version off your system (unless you manually override this again). -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
