Well - all I am doing is what I expected to do. I have just done the update, upgrade, install -f, upgrade and dist-upgrade again and it still fails I don't have a modified install The last time I had this problem, a month or so back, the same situation occured for a week or so and then it went away only to return again. That time I checked the dependency list (can't remember exactly how) and yes the dependancy was set to "=1.7.4.4" and I wondered if it should have been ">=" but didn't fiddle as I don't know the insides of it all. CUPS has continued working so it wasn't an issue but it appears to prevent a dist-upgrade so it will be a problem. --------------------------------------------- sudo apt-get update long list removed sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists...
