The idea behind storing this centrally is that not every individual user needs to download the large Contents files, but that these are in one place. I think this is very similar to 'apt-get update' which also requires root, even though things like "apt-cache search" or "apt-get source" work under a normal user account. I'm inclined to mark it as wontfix, Stefan? Thijs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
