Well, it also installs them. > When did the gnome part of tasksel enter the Woody dist. ? I'm using sid, but it looks like the same version of GNOME is in woody, so "desktop environment" in tasksel should give you the GNOME stuff. The problem is that the Ximian packages probably have a higher version number than the Debian GNOME packages, and tasksel (really apt) won't "downgrade" to the Debian packages. So you have to remove the all Ximian packages, then install the Debian packages. > I run half/haft rigth now, and it works out quit nicely, but I > sometime have some upgrade problems that need me to do at "dpkg > --force-depend --remove xxx". Don't --force-depends; you'll have a hard time getting dpkg back on nice speaking terms with you. I'd try finding the crucial libraries that the Ximian packages Depend on (say libgnome32), and "apt-get remove" those. Then you should only have a few remaining packages to clean up that didn't Depend on libgnome32. Of course, you will be without GNOME during the removal and upgrade...
