Ok. I was stupid enough using aptitude to let this slip by until it was already removing Apache. I have added testing to my sources-list to get access to those versions of Perl packages but I can't quite figure out how to get either aptitude or synaptic to let me remove the 5.8.4-1 versions and install the 5.8.3-3 versions. I know I can do this with apt-get but I am lead to understand that aptitude will not track what I have done and might get stupider if I do this. Is there an aptitude or synaptic answer or should I just use apt-get or dpkg? TIA, Paul Scott
