i wouldn't worry too much about stuff like that. unstable has a tendancy to break, which requires moving packages away which the maintainers forgot about, and situations where two packages both claim they own one file (ie, realplay, last i looked, though it owned /usr/bin/X, which was causing an upgrade of xserver to fail. this is obviously a bug in the realplayer package. you can fix it by editing /var/lib/dpkg/info/realplayer.list in this case) cheers, -- Damien Elmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
