As a last ressort, you can always consult the search engine at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages (-> Search Package Directories) This interface will list all dependencies. Even if you don't download the packages from there (apt is certainly more convenient), it might be helpfull as a means of orientation, especially if you're still exploring the load of packages which are available. -- Philip Lehman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
