These are ConfFiles. In principle, when you reinstall a package or update it, dpkg should ask you about each of these what to do: Keep the old version (which for these two you don't have any more), install the package-supplied version, or edit it. In reality, with "fink install" I have rarely seen this behavior. If called by fink, dpkg seems to silently ignore all ConfFiles, unless the package is installed for the first time. Acording to "man dpkg" you should be able to force installation of the config files by using some flags, like dpkg -i --force-confmiss /path/to/your/apache2-common_*.deb -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
