The command 'fink' only knows about packages that are installed and packages that have a .info present. If a pacakge is built (.deb present) but not installed and the .info for that version goes away, fink cannot see that version. OTOH, you're always free to work with that .deb manually, as akh noted. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
