Re: when is debian 3.0 coming out ?

No, everyone is too worried about creating testing/development/unstable/semi-stable/used-to-be-stable dists at the moment. An actual stable environment should be released in 2005. Mark faisal gillani wrote: does anyone knows the release date of debian 3.0 told by the debian people ? --

telling apt to ignore and continue

Hi, Majordomo was removed from the official distributions, but I needed it. It was automatically removed when I used apt-get dist-upgrade. So, I forced dpkg to add it manually. Now, when I try to apt-get upgrade my system, it won't continue because Majordomo is installed, and has unmet
