Between Nathan's fix and upgrading to aptitude 0.4.2, I no longer get the spurious warnings, nor problems trying to download packages. I was able to pick 0.4.2 from sid easily without any cascading dependencies. Note that Nathan's fix would only affect you if you are using mirrors.kernel.org. It occurs to me that other mirrors might be using the same buggy version of rsync though, so if you're noticing that packages are missing, this might be the reason. -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
