To allow co-existing w/ GNOME1 packages, the previous name scheme was this: gnome2-[something] gnome-[something]2 Some of my core GNOME2 packages were installed using this scheme. But for the last few months, this name scheme is changing to a form without a appended "2" suffix. So, an apt-get dist-upgrade failed, because the according dependencies were not matched in version, but not causing an error. So, this helped: i removed many packages with a "2" and searched package names on packages.debian.org and looked, if they are GNOME2 already (e.g. "gnome-system-monitor2" has become "gnome-system-monitor". So i removed the "2ers" and replaced them with the new ones, so that all was in sync. This did it for me and i hope that helps! -- greetings, Timo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PUBLIC KEY: D8279D57 Timo Boewing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2002/09/25 Fingerprint = DB88 686D 44D8 6F1B 5B1A D24F 037E F898 D827 9D57 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
