I have switched the distribution on nebka to stable. I want to delete fcheck. Updating the package list, I see nebka:~# dselect Get:1 http://techweb.rfa.org stable Release.gpg [378B] Get:2 http://techweb.rfa.org stable Release [58.2kB] Get:3 http://techweb.rfa.org stable/main Packages [4287kB] Get:4 http://techweb.rfa.org stable/contrib Packages [62.9kB] Get:5 http://techweb.rfa.org stable/non-free Packages [84.5kB] Fetched 4493kB in 7s (563kB/s) Reading package lists...

Need to get 49.5MB/60.6MB of archives. After unpacking 29.2MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n Abort. I tihnk hat none of the NEW packages are required. in the updated list, I don't think we need amd64, the php and the python packages. If I don't read any opinions to the contrary, I will perform this update, deleteing the packages I think wew don't need. -- Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel RePEc:per:1965-06-05:thomas_krichel mostly offline 2007-11-01 to 20007-11-18 skype: thomaskrichel
