I filed a bug against this a while ago(#40431 & #40429). The vncserver maintainer states that the vnc-doc package is obsolete and should have been removed from the archive before slink and that it adds bloat(all the info in vnc-doc is redundant with what is in the vncserver packages). I don't know if I agree with this or not. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
