this may only affect the woody dpkg but setting COLLUMS (that looks spelled wrong) will adjust this. removing the helix sources, running update then using dselect to purge all the `obsolete/local' packages really is probably the best way. > "dpkg -i"'ed them (this would have definately been simplified by a > --force-downgrade in apt-get...). i think apt has a --force-downgrade. > As was pointed out in a previous thread, there are some useful gnome and > gnome-related packages that have not yet made it into testing.

Those packages include: ximian packages are not binary compatible with debian's so that is not a good idea. better option is to install the missing packages from debian unstable. use of apt's pinning feature can aid this. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
