Well... I tried both ways, but they did not work - apt-get replied the same again, keeping back those packages and then telling nothing will be done; I suspect these packages might in fact be of unstable - which would be why apt-get refuses to touch them. Is there a way to check this? - Because I'm not at all sure of this. Thanks, Joris Huizer __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
