Thanks Colin, In my usual manner I found an explanation of package pools the following day. Now all I need to do is persuade the maintainer to put the old version in! :) Andy

Previous versions of woody .debs
I had a bit of a disaster lately, and when restoring the system using my local woody mirror, I found that I didnt have pan_0.8.0 which I had previously. If I install from the main mirror I find pan_0.9.1 which has dependencies on gnome X which my hardware wont support. I have the relevant gnome debs for pan_0.8.0 so upgrading that far isnt a problem, but I cannot find pan_0.8.0 anywhere. Are previous versions of debs in woody kept anywhere? In this case I have not set apt-move or apt-get to delete old versions, probably just some other stupidity which has lost me the file. An archive of old versions would help those who have though! Any info will be gratefully received. Andy Griffiths
