I use --nodeps, along with -F, for upgrades. I dislike having any upgrade scripts running (don't know what they're really doing) and I dislike rebooting also, for that matter. Ok, I'll do some verify in the end but I won't give up the --nodeps. I wouldn't like to have my system "bluecurve'd" or tampered in any other nasty way, I've got used to it as it is... Beside that I know what I'm doing (famous last words) :)) -- Jose Celestino | http://xpto.org/~japc/files/japc-pgpkey.asc ---------------------------------------------------------------- "Don't summarize.
