Hmmm... I usually just do a dpkg -i on the .deb file (usually hidden under /var/cache/apt/archives). I don't know offhand why apt-get --reinstall would fail, or if dpkg would fail in the same way. If it happens again, post the error, it'll give us a better idea. FWIW, I never used rpm --replacepkg either, so I'm probably not the best one to ask. -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - In a variety of flavors!
