Interesting. What I get is: Resolving dependencies... No solution found within the allotted time. Try harder? [Y/n] If I redirect stdin to /dev/null, I get: Unexpected end-of-file on standard inputAbort. with other junk about an exception that should be cleaned up (oops). Anyway, probably I should just abort up front since it'll never go anywhere with a step limit of 0. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
