Things apt depends on always get resolved and installed first as far as I can tell. When apt can deduce this from the dependency information, you're correct. However, I personally have experienced situations where i saved myself a lot of pain by installing some bit first (apt, dpkg, debconf) rather than trying it all in one fell swoop. Things weren't irretrievably broken, but I did have to run apt-get dist-upgrade several times consecutively to get things sorted out. I found the former method to be more efficent. Remember, a dist-upgrade is not the same as an upgrade. In any case, apt kicks ass. A friend of mine was at a class recently and several participants were bemoaning the difficulty of keeping a redhat box secure, keeping up with patches, etc. They freaked out when he showed them apt. -- Nathan Norman - Incanus Networking mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Q: What's the difference between a computer salesman and a used car salesman?

Re: apt-get dist-upgrade bails
Apologies for the duplicate; the upgrade had turned off exim, apparently, and I tried resending before realising that was the problem, so there were two identical messages in the queue.
