Technically packages get *copied* to stable (!= moved) and the "infofile" field in the package database can only hold a single filename for a given %f. That means the above 'fink' command may omit all packages that are available at the same version-revision in both stable and unstable. >> Additonally >> apt-get could say something like, that a certain package is available >> through the unstable tree of fink, perhaps with referencing the pages >> mentioned above. apt-get only has access to the .deb repository database. We do not use Debian tools forsource-built packages, and I don't think it would be trivial to hack apt-get to access fink's databases. Better to use 'fink' as the primary tool here (which *can* access apt) than the other way around. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
