I would like to have apt-get upgrade to UPGRADE every package on the system with the latest version...perhaps too draconian a feature. I was confused particularly because I couldn't get the latest netscape-4.75 without doing apt-get install netscape only then did it get rid of the older version. NOTE I of course have the security update site listed first in my sources file and I ran update first. Just an observation. -walter
