I now use Graham Williams wajig shell script as a front end to apt, mostly because of the extra facilities it provides an easy interface to.
The other day I added a new security line to my sources.list, so I ran wajig update, followed by wajig toupgrade. The toupgrade reported a package to upgrade. So I ran wajig upgrade, but it said there were no packages to upgrade... pentium:/usr/local/bin# wajig toupgrade Package Available Installed =======================-=======================-================ e2fsprogs 1.18-3 1.18-3.0potato1 pentium:/usr/local/bin# pentium:/usr/local/bin# wajig upgrade Reading Package Lists...

Is this a bug in Graham's script, or something wrong with my package database? -- Nikki Locke, Trumphurst Ltd. PC & Unix consultancy & programming [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.trumphurst.com/
