what I would do(this may not be the correct way but it works much of the time): 1) backup /var/lib/dpkg/status 2) edit /var/lib/dpkg/status, find the line which has libglib 1.2 1.2.10-4 and change it to -6 instead since it's such a minor version difference it probably won't cause any trouble. it would be advisable to write this change down somewhere so you know that you tricked the system into this. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
