Oh -- then it is there. Since apt-get is really a front end for things like this, then a "rollback" command would simply do this. One also needs the dependencies since simply dpkg -i some item here is not enough. For the problem at hand, the X-stuff versions there are the same as the installed versions and XFree86 items (two) are not there at all. The question is when this archive is built/rebuilt vis-a-vis any upgrade or dist-upgrade. (I am new to this.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
