Hi Michael Thanks for your interest, unfortunately have reinstalled Ibex which trashed the file you need. Using the same /home directories and updates are working fine again. Unfortunately there are no - [] X boxes on the top right of windows anymore, but that's another story.
Very impressed with your follow-ups, many thanks. john ________________________________ From: Michael Vogt <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, 28 January, 2009 8:10:44 PM Subject: [Bug 321463] Re: update manager error processing dependencies Thanks for your bugreport.
