The dpkg package in upgrade(-i386)/ is okay everywhere I can check, which includes the Debian FTP archive and the test-cycle-2 Non-US i386 Binary-1 CD. However, at the moment I can _not_ check the US-exportable CDs. The "wrong" version has (AFAIK) never been in the Debian FTP archive; it has been on my private site only for a few days. Sven: Where exactly did you get your CD from? Regards, Anne Bezemer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
