The advice above was not to rely on the tool to magically auto-compute a full solution for you, but instead to interactively navigate your complex(!) multi-suite system and make better sense of it yourself: Might help reveal a package you'd accidentally held back, or some deprecated library flagged as non-auto which you know you don't need, etc. etc. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
