Forcing things on debian (and probably redhat if you're using apt or one of the myriad other auto-update tools for it) generally doesn't go over too well. The next time you try to use apt it'll helpfully remove the inconsistent package. In a nutshell, don't do it. :-) > There is both Version: 1.3.27.0-2 AND Version: 1.3.26-0woody3 > This might be where I am having probs in getting libapache-mod-perl onto > the system. > > Whats with two versions? Do I somehow pick one and how ? If you already have a version of apache-base installed, apt-cache will show you that one as well. Also, do you have multiple repositories in your sources.list that might be carrying different versions? -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
