Much as when installing mutually dependent packages using dpkg directly, give both package names on the command line: dpkg --remove libgphoto2-2 libgphoto2-port0 > Kind of reminds me of RPM: dpkg-the-program is in fact very similar to rpm-the-program. Trying to manage a Debian system using only an FTP client and dpkg is shockingly like trying to maintain an RPM-based system. :-) Debian has a consistent policy for packages so they interoperate better, and higher-level tools like dselect and APT, which, combined with a unified package repository, make the system much more usable. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
