It looks like there's some part of dctrl that keeps track of everything it's ever seen, and so I get still these weird errors like "ggv, I've seen that, but I don't know about it," sometimes with reference to ximian. But I guess there's nothing left to purge. These leaves me with the question of pilot-link, where I've got (thanks to ximian) a testing version that I don't want. But now I just do an apt-get remove pilot-link followed by an apt-get install jpilot (which installs pilot-link) and all's well. Cool. Much thanks, Bill and others. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements-http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug
