Ben,

OK. Stick with me on this. I'm very much in the user category here. I've been a Linux user for many years - but never a developer. My employment is as a developer using .NET on the Windows platform. So I'm a bit unfamiliar with some of the concepts here.

However, spurred on by your reply, I did this:

linux:/home/peter # rug update mono-1.1-official

linux:/home/peter # So have I just lost one package (mono-data-sqlite?) or did I lose some more as well? Without going through each package in detail, it seems that there were 20 to install, but only 13 made it. What do I have to do to recover?

I'll try the other channels and post any interesting results.

But thanks for spurring me on to have another go. I don't really want to overwrite my system if I can help it.

Cheers

Peter
