Does your /etc/apt/sources.list reference woody or stable? They used to be the same, but now there is a new stable, sarge. So if you reference stable, a lot of your packages are now regarded as obsolete. You should either reference woody explicitly or do a complete upgrade (recommended!) using the instructions in the release notes at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/index.en.html Oliver Elphick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
