I wonder how did I miss the whole thing... In any case, such breakages do happen form time to time, but nothing I would that you can help. You'd get that with Ubuntu much more often. Software, being written/coded the way it is, works even surprisingly well in Debian. If you want to solve this particular problem, there's a totally simple solution to it. We could easily perform apt-get update and -d install (just packages download) every week. Then wait 7 days and if there are no bugs reported, go ahead and install the packages. Even a 2- or 3-day delay would suffice, and it would mean absolutely nothing to us. -doc _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
