Ah found it in the GLEP: "The package manager filters the news item and, if it is relevant, marks the news item for reading. The package manager should also display a notice informing the user that there are unread news items." This means that adding a >=message is useless as it gets filtered away at the first sync. Use elog instead. Regards, Petteri
