Precisely, far too many lists on Debian and they could use some consolidation. My view is if an issue affects users of Debian; then it should be posted to the 'user' lists.<shrug> Speaking of this issue (FTP master being down); I did an 'aptitude update' for my SID laptop this morning. Says over 900 packages need to be updated! Now I know it's been a few days since we received updates, and I update every day prior to the downtime; Surely that can't be right, can it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Depends on all sorts of things (like what you've got installed) but yes, at first sight, that seems like a lot. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" The public wants what the public gets Going Underground - The Jam
