Why didn't this happen when one does apt-get upgrade? Is it because the version numbers are different? I have had the sucurity site listed first in the source.list file. -walter

If not, is there a place to find 128 bit debian packages? Couldn't tell you about the ones in the location you specify, but the woody versions appear to be.

Netscape 4.75 with 128 bit encryption?
Hi, so far I use an "alien" rpm package of netscape with 128 bit encryption. I would like to switch to a secure (that is version 4.75) deb package. Are the netscape version under www.debian.org/security/2000/2901 128 bit? If not, is there a place to find 128 bit debian packages? By the way: I have the impression that debian still adheres to a strict devision between us and non-us encryption packages which - for all what I know - given the new US legislation is obsolete. Any comments? Thanks in advance Andreas Goesele
