begin Matthew Daubenspeck quotation: > What exactly does this mean? That you haven't read the man page for apt-get. > The following packages have been kept back > webalizer upgrade upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list. Packages currently installed with new versions available are retrieved and upgraded; under no cir cumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and installed. New versions of currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the install status of another package will be left at their current version. An update must be performed first so that apt-get knows that new ver sions of packages are available. See especially the line "New versions of currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the install status of another package will be left at their current version." One way to fix it: apt-cache show webalizer (look at the dependencies, see if there are any that you recognize as things you DON'T want installed for some reason) Once you're happy with the dependencies; apt-get install webalizer (that will force it to go ahead and install new software to meet dependencies.) Many people skip the "apt-cache show webalizer" part, and just pray for the best. If your system isn't mission-critical, there's a lot to be said for this practice, and less to be said against it, but you're still taking a risk if you do. I do it all the time, haven't broken anything serious yet. BTW, after you do an "apt-get update", one way to find out what will be installed before you commit to it is "apt-get -s upgrade". The "-s" says "don't actually do it, just show me what you would do." -- Shawn McMahon | McMahon's Laws of Linux support: http://www.eiv.com | 1) There's more than one way to do it AIM: spmcmahonfedex, smcmahoneiv | 2) Somebody thinks your way is wrong
