I don't know if apt behaves the same under red-hat as with debian, but under debian by default if you manually installed packages of the same version as the repository available packages, the repository ones will be installed. The default setting of apt doesn't download package version. You need to look at two files. /etc/apt/sources.list tells apt where to look for packages and /etc/apt/apt.conf which set the update preferences in terms of package versions and preferred distribution. > -- > Thanks. > > David Harel, > > ================================== > > Home office +972 4 6921986 > Fax: +972 4 6921986 > Cellular: +972 54 4534502 > Snail Mail: Amuka > D.N Merom Hagalil > 13802 > Israel > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > ================================================================= > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > This Mail Was Scanned By Mail-seCure System > at the Tel-Aviv University CC. > ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
