I've been using kpackage as long as it's existed, and it's never been that. If the packages it's using are debs, it's _strictly_ a front end for apt-get. If the packages are rpms, it's a front end for rpm (?? not sure about that - _not_ alien, in any case). It also recognizes all sorts of other package formats. It doesn't "degrade" apt-get in any way. I like the way it lets me scan the dependency chain (which is the only reason I usually use it, otherwise I just use apt-get). -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
