Unfortunately, this is a problem you're only likely to get if you're installing with Knoppix, or have a system that is half-half stable and unstable. A client had this problem on a system she half upgraded to unstable recently -> she ended up downgrading everything she could to their stable versions. Unless you completely upgrade to unstable, that's really the only way to deal with it sanely. - Jeff -- GU4DEC: June 16th-18th in Dublin, Ireland http://www.guadec.org/ "We are peaking sexually when they are peaking.
