I don't know. it "Just Worked" (tm). Check the "apt-cache" man page to see if it uses an "available" file. If so, then you need to run "dselect" (use update option) or figure out which apt-FOO command will update the available file. > 2.

If so, what is the difference between these two? Yes. "SMP" == Symetrical Multi-Processing. You want w/o -smp. > 3.

If it doesn't, send more mail to debian-hppa with apt-get output and/or boot output if appropriate. grant
