I'm not too keen on up2date, i prefer apt-get. If you want to install something with any dependencies then just 'apt-get install packagename' and it'll do all the work for you. If the package isnt supported in apt then I've had limited success by installing the package whilst ignoring the dependencies (rpm -Uvh --nodeps package.rpm) and then asking apt to fix everything with 'apt-get install -f' - it checks for broken dependencies and installs them automatically ;) Jeff On Mon, 2003-11-24 at 14:23, Jason Dixon wrote: > On Mon, 2003-11-24 at 09:19, Stuart Stephen wrote: > > You could run up2date, that should install what you need and its > > dependencies... > > Only for packages in your product version's "channel".
