Are you sure? The output I get is below. Note that both erlang and erlang-base appear twice (apparently because they exist both in non-US and in the main archive), but 'show erlang' shows only erlang and 'show erlang-base' shows only erlang-base. mizar:[~] apt-cache show erlang Package: erlang Priority: optional Section: non-US Installed-Size: 8108 Maintainer: Samuel Tardieu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 1:7.2-3 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.1-2), libncurses5, libssl096, xlibs (>= 4.0.1-11), erlang-base (=1:7.2-3) Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.4.1.17) Recommends: erlang-manpages, erlang-doc-html Conflicts: erlang-jams, erlang-jams-erl, erlang-dev Filename: pool/non-US/main/e/erlang/erlang_7.2-3_i386.deb Size: 2243464 MD5sum: 5f8049fa0f04e256087e052c92e81dc5 Description: A real-time, concurrent and distributed functional language Open Source Erlang is a functional programming language designed at the Ericsson Computer Science Laboratory. .
