Re: Last reference

Dear Lazar,

The 'hi' installation code means that a package is held, that is, it
won't get upgraded by an 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. The packages are
installed fine and working as they should. (An h in the second position
would mean half-installed.)

Unfortunately, my laptop died yesterday, so I can't dig up more info for
you right now. I supplied the list of installed packages to show what
'works for me' (tm). One reason the installation may look strange is
that the system has gone through quite a few upgrades. For example, the
mysql4 configuration files were left on the system by apt-get when
upgrading to mysql5. As far as I know, they don't interfere with mysql5
at all. I generally tend to trust that the dependencies are set up
correctly for the packages when doing installations and upgrades. If the
system doesn't complain and things seem to work, I'm happy. :) And in
the case of refdb, if it builds and seems to work, I'm happy.

I may look more into this once I get my system up and running again.

Regards,

Anders
