my first born son is yours :-) that fixed the problem, when upgrade-system declared that it wanted to remove everything, I stopped it from updating, but every other apt front end then had it set to do the update and I couldn't clear it. so, what's your postal address and I'll ship the annoying bugger to you (he's 2 and takes all my time plus 10% more) Incidentally, do you know how to clear the pending actions in apt? dpkg --clear-avail doesn't clear it -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
