I agree that keeping it open is easier, but I'm not finding that works very well as things stand. Since my original report I've noticed that the Description display of installed packages often stops working after an install, even if the package in question was not involved in the install. It seems kind of random; for some packages it does show the description, and for others it doesn't. That is, the Description pane show the message about not having information for an uninstalled package, even though the package is installed and was installed before I did my apt-get install. I think there are similar issues with the other tabs, though I can't swear to it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
