'apt-cache' is a handy cli tool to see whats up with packages. man: "apt-cache - APT package handling utility -- cache manipulator" 'apt-cache policy' see what versio(s) are installed or available, 'apt-cache rdepends <package name>' and apt-cache depends <package name>' will show you what will be installed or removed. -- Peace, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
