If I recall correctly, an epoch cannot be removed or else people with the epoch packages will never have a sane upgrade path. ie: say they have 1:1.6-1 and you remove the epoch in future uploads. That epoch will keep it a higher version than your new uploads and prevent upgrades without the sysadmin doing it manually. -- Chris Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ICQ: 72021847 Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 20B2 CB34 8AA5 05BC A90C 2CDD 2768 D4B4 2B93 424B
