thanks, I added a preferences file, and tried an upgrade. It removed one package: Keep the following packages at their current version: libquicktime1 [2:1.0.0+debian-5 (now)] Score is 190 Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] The following packages will be REMOVED: libquicktime0{a} the system isn't bad enough for a complete reinstall, so I think I'll wait for the release upgrade.. As long as everything works that I need to work, I can handle getting logged out once in a while, as long as that's all it does. At least the apt_preferences had examples I could use! -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
