Thanks. That turns out to be the case, and I hope gnome2 fixes this by requiring libpng-dev instead of libpng#-dev. Otherwise it seems you can't develop for the one when you are developing for the other. Now that just isn't fair ;-) However, that doesn't fully answer my queston. Isn't there a tool or a command I can use to determine why a package was kept back or removed? -- ________________________________________________________________________ __ _ Carl B.
