Well Its not that I don't appreciate that, but historically suse has been extreemly late getting out updates to very time sensitive packages such as SpamAssassin. These packages are a month old. Cpan at most 24 hours old. The real problem is a "recommended" package is treated like a dependency by the Software Updater. A generic question: Why would it be so hard for a software updater package to check for the existance of packages installed by other means? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
