hang the first time you try to enter a group. This is not a problem - it's enough to tell leafnode to get the group - but you might find it annoying if you want to get a lot of groups. The slink version doesn't have this problem (use --force-depends-version if necessary - you don't actually need the new libc6). Jiri

rite the program in a shell; for larger programs, write it in perl." Then again, even for small programs, you are likely to write a better program if you have a better tool.

"-" on them and see if anything pops up in the dependency screen (and then use "R" if it's something important). Just like any other package, I guess, with the proviso that you can't re-install them from the place dselect is looking at right now (so if you change your mind later, you'll have to find out where you got them from first.)
