I was given an unbootable kernel two days ago, and one of the dependencies for the headers didn't exist in sid. It does now, but I'll wait a while...

I'll go back to aptitude when the dust settles a bit. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
