i'm having problems with outdated packages and dselect, ala dpkg. for instance, the alsa modules at version 4.1 are pretty old. say i want the updated alsa, for whatever reason. unsupported soundcard, whatever. so i download the source from alsa and install it. but i also want to install xmms and various other software that depend on the debianized alsa modules. and i can't have the debian alsa modules installed and the downloaded source installed at the same time. is there anyway around this, other than to exit dselect, forcing dependencies every time via "Q"? thanks for your time. jerry
