...until woody gets release and you try to upgrade, at which point things will suddenly get confused. You're really better off installing home-built software under /usr/local to keep dpkg happy. (There's an off chance that you can get the source from sid and build a Debian package under potato and have it work, but this is becoming more unlikely in the general case as packages start depending on features of things that are newer than the things in potato.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
