Devices are now created by the makedev package, so if you want to get rid of the old base package, just make dpkg to think that it is not installed by editing manually the status file in /var/lib/dpkg. (Do it with care, make a backup copy of it, etc.). Regarding xntp, it has been renamed to xntp3. Warning: If you purge the old package, you could lose the configuration files. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: latin1 iQCVAgUBNYrOdiqK7IlOjMLFAQFTfwQAo2HYRpcZJz0UG2E5pH7hVAgKhmraJNhi DdczjM/tIsyqC2FBiJFvdzuycQzdPGbTwIrAGKxf7ZCFCD7cA1dJEydKCulahQdl 7qwV3Rm5HYXS6LMGXf/giKjU/4uuF04ZcLIG8mtnP3+UOGCwSz9xPNIXsBnJE/8F W3bNwlW7uOM= =u6i3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
