OK, that works, though I have no idea why: the file I hacked is mozilla-browser-xft2-1.3-2.info, which is the version that is listed as outdated. The current version only has a file mozilla-1.3-12.info that contains no mention of xfree86, and I didn't touch it.
Somehow the outdated info file is inheriting the current version number and controlling what will be installed. Well, if it works, that's fine by me...many thanks! -- Viv On Tue, 4 Nov 2003, Alexander K.
