No not at all. But for the moment I'd rather install the deb packages directly because in this phase of testing an apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade might lock down you system if new deb files contain errors. So I prefer *for the moment* wget <file from Aitor's site>.deb dpkg -i <file from Aitor's site>.deb This wil install this particular version and these version will not be upgraded automatically. -- ___________________________________________________________________ It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak aloud and remove all doubt. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Richard Lucassen, Utrecht | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
