dpkg-http (in hamm) can use a web proxy, if that's an option. I haven't installed it on a bo system, but can't think of any reason it wouldn't work. I've suggested it to a few people in similar circumstances and never heard back from them. (That might not be a good sign...) dpkg-ftp 1.4.9.1 and later have authenticated ftp proxy support. Neither dpkg-http nor dpkg-ftp depend on libc6, so it should be possible to install the latest versions on bo systems without updating anything else. -Drake -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
