It does seem like the 3 audio apps it wants to remove are all tied in with libsigc++-1.2-5c102, which is being upgraded to libsigc++-5c2. Presumably it's only these 3 audio apps that are being affected by this change. Amsynth also requires libsigc++ according to my notes on FC2 deps, but looking at synaptic options/deps for amsynth on my Debian Sarge/Etch install, this says it's for a different version of libsigc++ (libsigc++0c102). I'll go for it. It will pass the time. Thanks for the advice. Nigel. ps: I hope Linux distro's arn't going the way of MS Windows XP & the notorious app trashing service pack 2. But saying that, at least Debian have the decency to tell you before you upgrade, which app's they're going to trash.
