As above, if you specify -u (--update), apt-cross will force an update of the cache.

If it is the proxy and if the apt.conf-$suite files need to handle proxies, this is going to affect others so I want to fix it. > $ cat ./.dpkg-cross/apt.conf-unstableDir "/home/jh150702/.dpkg-cross/" > { > Etc "/home/jh150702/.dpkg-cross/" > { > SourceList "sources.unstable"; > }; > State "unstable/"; > Cache "unstable/"; > }; > Acquire::http::Proxy "http://129.147.62.25:8080"; OK, I'll look into *not* replacing the apt.conf-$suite files if they already exist or possibly an optional setting to update the cache without replacing the content of these files. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
