No. Michael is doing the right thing here. When configured to use apt as its access method (as is the default), 'dselect update' runs 'apt-get update' and then merges the output into dpkg's available file. I advise never using 'apt-get update' directly. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
