Hi, I went through this yesterday, I had "aptitude-gtk" installed for testing purpose, but it went "boom" with dependency problems so I removed it during the upgrade. After that, also aptitude was marked installed, it wasn't available, even not to the "which" or "whereis" programs. I removed aptitude with apt-get, installed it again from testing, and now it works fine again. Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
