Since I've been running "sid" and Ximian's Gnome packages, until I did an "apt-get dist-upgrade" yesterday, I saw no problems. Then, I ran into a similar problem as the original poster -- there was a debian package newer than the ximian one and it caused a brief headache. Why exactly shouldn't you mix the two ?? Won't ximian normally have newer packages than debian, and therefore avoid a conflict ?? Regards Hall Stevenson
