Thanks for the bug report Anthony. (Appologies if anyone got bounces re my email address - catastrophic failure from my web/email hosting). Looks a bit of a problem with the new apt. I've not had a look at the newer python-apt, so any specific pointers are most welcome! Regards, Graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
