If it's the latter, we need to petition the release manager to pretty please let it in as this bug really breaks apt. If it's the former, then maybe a little intervention to help it cross the tracks... :) BTW, for the workaround, just taking unstable out of sources.list fixed the probs. Didn't even have to do an update again to get rid of them. Guess dist-upgrade also examines sources.list to determine what package lists to use. ciao, der.hans -- # [EMAIL PROTECTED] home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.DevelopOnline.com # Practice socially consious hedonism.
