Packages *** 0.11.3-2 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status And apt-get wanted to reinstall the same packages again and again. $ sudo apt-get -s upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be upgraded libpisock++0 libpisock8 pilot-link 3 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Inst libpisock8 (0.11.3-2 Backports from sid:3.0/stable) Inst libpisock++0 (0.11.3-2 Backports from sid:3.0/stable) Inst pilot-link (0.11.3-2 Backports from sid:3.0/stable) Conf libpisock8 (0.11.3-2 Backports from sid:3.0/stable) Conf libpisock++0 (0.11.3-2 Backports from sid:3.0/stable) Conf pilot-link (0.11.3-2 Backports from sid:3.0/stable) After I changed the order of the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list the "bug" was corrected. I now have: $ apt-cache policy libpisock8 libpisock8: Installed: 0.11.3-2 Candidate: 0.11.3-2 Version Table: *** 0.11.3-2 0 990 http://people.debian.org woody/.

Try to reorder your sources.list file. Hope this helps. Regards, -- Dr. Ludovic Rousseau [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Normaliser Unix c'est comme pasteuriser le Camembert, L.R. --
