No worries, we all started at some point. :) Basically synaptics update should have updated the package and in theory it should have worked then. I am not sure though, whether this still all works that well. Problem is that there are a lot of ways to milk a cow. >From a graphical end I would use update-manager.

And enabling proposed, yes that will give you _all_ the packages that are in the staging area. There is some way you can pin certain packages, but honestly I found that method too complicated to bother (One doesn't want to enable proposed on a production system for that reason). Using update-manager you could deselect everything and then select only one package to install. And after that just deactivate proposed again. Or packages also can be found through launchpad. For example: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifenslave-2.6 which is ok as long as there are no dependencies to another proposed version. I probably should be helping on the forums too, but I am not. Time seems to be eaten by all sorts of other things. But there certainly are many helpful people there. Or try irc. #ubuntu-server on freenode could be a good starting point for things like this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/714904 Title: /etc/network/if-up.d/ifenslave is missing (installed under if-pre- up.d) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifenslave-2.6/+bug/714904/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
