I just tried to use debian and ubuntu repositories in parallel and I think that this is a real life example for what I just mentioned. (I did this because their evolution package is newer...) After the upgrade I have a nice amount of packages that aptitude keeps on reinstalling if I don't set them to "hold". If I browse the available versions for one of these packages, I get the same version listed six times... ;-) I don't know if this is an apt or aptitude problem but it's real and definitely annoying... :-) Regards, Maximilian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
