This is a quick drive-by to wonder whether limiting the repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list (before "apt upgrade") would additionally help here, too? Commenting the lines out instead of deleting is my chosen method of operation just so I don't have to waste time tracking down how to put what back in place *when* I change my mind. :) Yes, I can't think of good examples, but I'm sure there are some to show why everything should be updated instead of just security. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *
