We originally got apt/dpkg (ours are currently outdated, but we're thinking about an update) from the Debian sources. We then have to patch them like mad because they are intended for Debian and similar Linux distributions and not for other operating systems like OS X or Windows. I don't have a URL handy for the current Debian archives because our apt and dpkg are outdated and we have to host our own copies, but I know they have an extensive set of mirrors all over the world. I'd start with the Debian homepage. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
