No. I normally would run "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get dist-upgrade" but at the present time that would cause several packages to be removed that I need. Therefore, I just use "apt-get upgrade" which will only upgrade without removing any packages. But, "apt-get dist-upgrade" does not work either. The problem seems to be that apt knows what packages are in the repository but can not get them. Hence my question. -- Regards, Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
