The previous one should still be in your /var/cache/apt/archives/
Not if you installed on a fresh machine last night! This is what caused
my un-installable and un-removable gnome packages, which I struggled
with for 3 hours and which meant that my users currently cannot log in
under gnome.
On one of my woody machines, when I do an "Update", and then go into
"Request Packages", all teh new packages are presented to me at the top
of the list. One the otehr machines this is not true, and I cannot seem
to figure out how to change dselect to make it so.
