Ahhhhh, I see. I failed to see that there still exists a vnc-doc package. I would call this a bug in the vncserver and [s|x]vncviewer packages. They need to have versions on the conflicts. They need to conflict with the older vnc-doc from 2.0 but now with the vnc-doc from 2.1. I will file a bug report. To install the slink vnc-doc use --force-conflicts. dpkg --force-conflicts -i vnc-doc*.deb -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
