Correct, yes. I've just verified that right now using the 9.5 amd64 netinst and it currently fails on three packages with missing dependencies: * mutt (as started this thread) * bind9-host * dnsutils If you're using a netinst, you're *really* expected to use a mirror. If you're not, you should know what you're doing to fix any issues you find like this. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "Further comment on how I feel about IBM will appear once I've worked out whether they're being malicious or incompetent.
