Jason Thanks for the quick response. Actually, I have apt 0.3.18 on one of the CDs. However, it seems that the version installed by the installation procedure (probably on the base system) is 0.3.16. I'll re-report this bug to them. Thanks - Jim -- Jim Peters / __ | \ Aguazul / /| /| )| /| / )|| \ jim@aguazul. \ (_|(_|(_|(_| )(_|I / www.aguazul. demon.co.uk \ ._) _/ / demon.co.uk
