Exactly. Mine is the same idea as pdumpfs which is the power behind snapshot.debian.net. I used a simple implimentation with BASH instead of pdumpfs's generic Ruby one. I do not know what haapens when apt is run by user when CRON is in action or vice varsa. I wish mine could have been as short and simple as yours. Osamu
