You want "-X". > but I still get stuck there as the first package in update! > > Why that? wasn't that the purpose of -x/-X ? Or, as usual PEBKAC? Look at your build log carefully. I suspect that it was not selected for replacing, but something that depends on it was selected, and the dependency logic said a new enough version wasn't installed, and thus went to build gobject-introspection. To deal with this, you can do one of: fix gobject-introspection :-) figure out what requires it and add -X for that too, building up a list in your sources, cvs update the gobject-introspection directory back in time to the version you have installed, so the other things won't try to demand newer, for the most part
