I said confuse. Doesn't mean it won't work at all. But apart from stuff not getting cross-graded (as you put it) you can also end up in loops that will re-cross-grade a package every time you apt-get upgrade and the like. Having apt-get say there is a new version of foo available every day is damn anoying. MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
