Hi Nicolas, yes, this helps a lot, thanks ! But it would not help, using apt-get dist-upgrade (although I can use aptitude and set the package on hold) If so, I have to do this every time, a new version is coming out. I hope, the maintainers will change it though. Cheers Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
