The ONLY version shown is the current one. ok that is probably since you have only repositories for one version in /etc/apt/sources.list or maybe by your /etc/apt/preferences settings To be able to downgrade to get around problems like this do I have both stable testing and unstable repositories in sources.list You can also download from here: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages and use dpkg -i to install. But if you don't have a sources.list with the corresponding repositories can you get problem with dependencies. -- Mvh Anders Lagerås
