A quick Google Groups (that never sounds as good as "DejaNews" did) turned up this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=51269 So, apparently, ical was pulled from Debian in early 2001 because it was dead upstream, orphaned, and nobody wanted to take it over. I don't know why, specifically, it got bounced from your machine, but I'd assume it was because it depended on old libraries or old Tcl/Tk infrastructure or whatever, which got upgraded when you went to sid. -c (I used to use ical myself, as well) -- Chris Metzler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
