You can indeed use the apt-cross cache for any query that apt can handle using the main cache. In fact, that is how apt-cross gets the cache in the first place - it passes this config string to apt-get $foo update. The rest of it is wrappers to create the relevant directories in userspace so that sudo is no longer needed. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
