Thankyou somuch lubos for the reply :-)

I installed some software from dotdeb following the advice on

http://dotdeb.org/news/dotdeb_now_available_for_amd64

hope it will automatically get packages for 64-bit amd and not 32 bit x86 ?
how do I check if the packages installed are for 64 bit?

is it that only 64-bit packages can be installed or 32-bit packages
can also slip in if the /etc/apt/source.list is not edited carefully?

Thankyou so much again for you help :-)

kind regards
