Keep in mind that dag/dries *normally* prefer that rpmforge be used. But the query stll shows dag/dries. But I have them disabled and rpmforge active. WFM so far. Does apt have the ability to look at CentOS "places" (I 'm apt to know zip about apt:-)? Does it have a "provides" or "whatprovides" equivalent? ISTM that taking advantage of those features would be faster than waiting on somebody's good-nature response at their leisure? Or, because I'm often very impatient and lazy, I keep several quite up- to-date listings from all the repos in /var. So # grep unrar /var/YumAvail.lst.07 unrar.i386 3.6.2-1.el4.rf dag unrar-debuginfo.i386 3.5.4-1.2.el4.rf dries # "LAZINESS is the mother of invention", contrary to the old adage! <snip sig stuff> Don't pitch a fit, it'd be a waste of time! :-) -- Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
