I tried this and it gave me a long list of packages it wanted to remove including stuff like evolution, gconf-editor, gnome-menus and lots of others that are fundamental to my system. I can post the output if anyone is interested. The packages it said were broken almost all of the installed ones! Something very wrong here or I'm missing something. Looks to me like I need to re-install. Regards, Tony. -- Tony Arnold, IT Security Coordinator, University of Manchester, IT Services Division, Kilburn Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL.
