Careful. Those numbers that you are comparing aren't versions as far as dpkg/apt is concerned. You have the package "libwebkit-1.0-2" version "1.1.7-1". But, the package "midori" needs the package "libwebkit-1.0-1" version "1.0.1" or greater. Package names are only compared for equality; they aren't ordered and a request for one package cannot be satisfied by another package without an explicit Provides relationship. It is fairly common for library packages to have their SO_VERSION as part of their package name. The naming for webkit is a bit odd, but it is allowed. I suppose you'd have to ask the maintainer why (s)he is using such a confusing package name. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
