That'll work if the problem is a new package that's been created, and is depeneded on by those files. If you apt-get install one of the package, it should either also install the appropriate new package, or complain that the version of a package being depended on is not available. (eg gcc-3.0 in sid right now depends on a version of binutils that isn't available yet: Keitarou:~# apt-get -u dist-upgrade The following packages have been kept back gcc-3.0 Keitarou:~# apt-get install gcc-3.0 Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: gcc-3.0: Depends: binutils (>= 2.11.92.0.12.3-6) but 2.11.92.0.12.3-5 is to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages ) -- =========================================================== Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 4th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
