Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried this procedure, but liferea_1.6 wouldn't start until I deleted the .liferea_1.4 folder I'd copied into /home. As you imply, it's hard to be sure that all the bits of 1.6 have been removed (and you can't trust <sudo aptitude remove --purge liferea> to get everything). The difference between your situation and mine, of course, is that I've got a clean install to deal with. I'll have another go. But if anyone else has advice, I'd be very grateful. mac -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
