See cafod. https://www.LuftHans.com/unix/ I think I finally agree with Derek and recommend using upgrade rather than dist-upgrade. In your particular case I think that specifically should be the best way to go. Use '-u' to see what upgrade or dist-upgrade is going to install/remove. Also, look at www.apt-get.org and www.backports.org to see if there's a package of mplayer that'll work for what you already have installed. ciao, der.hans --=20 # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.AZOTO.org/ # "Communications without intelligence is noise; # Intelligence without communications is irrelevant." # Gen.
