Thanks for the clarification, Ralph. I had indeed misunderstood it. I've looked again through the docs and could not find an explanation of it. Perhaps I missed it.
What threw me off was that there is both openssh-3.6.1p2-1.3.1.src.rpm and openssh-3.6.1p2-1.3.2.src.rpm in the UPD directory. Since I thought that UPD only contained the latest update of a package, I assumed that the presence of two versions of openssh meant that the dependencies were different. So now that I know better, I'll go ahead install the 1.3.2 patch level of openssh. Thanks again. Dennis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ralf S.

Err... every foo-X.Y-1.3.x.src.rpm package under ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/UPD/ is for OpenPKG 1.3, including the updated bootstrap openpkg-1.3.1-1.3.1.src.rpm, of course. I guess you misunderstood our versioning. An OpenPKG release 1.3 is formed out of foo-X.Y-1.3.0.src.rpm packages in ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/SRC/ plus (after time comes) various foo-X.Y-1.3.x.src.rpm packages (x >= 1). But a foo-X.Y-1.3.2.src.rpm has nothing to do with an OpenPKG 1.3.2 release. There is no such thing. OpenPKG releases have no patch-level, only individual packages of a release have patch-levels. And the patch-levels are _INDIVIDUAL_ to each package, of course. And the bootstrap package "openpkg-1.3.1-1.3.1.src.rpm" is not different in any way: it just is the first patch-level of package "openpkg" and belonging to OpenPKG 1.3. Nothing more or less. So, the rule is simple: for running OpenPKG 1.3, you install the packages from ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/SRC/ and upgrade to the latest patchlevel of a package if it can be found under ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/UPD/.
