sorry for the basic questions, but i've been digging around and not figuring this out. my emc2/ubuntu has gcalctool version 5.6.34 but bdi lists 4.4.20 as the current release, i am spoiled by a couple features of the newer version. can i change the repositories for bdi so i get later versions for some of these things. also synergy-cad upgrades each and every time i do apt-get upgrade, can i correct this? thanks djs

I can't help with the first question, but this last synergy-cad thingy also occurs here on a kubuntu-6.06 install, 100% of the time. I suppose one could add it to a keep list somehow? But I'm not that familiar with adept or synaptics. Both do it everytime.
thanks djs

That's what we're here for...
my emc2/ubuntu has gcalctool version 5.6.34 but bdi lists 4.4.20 as the current release, i am spoiled by a couple features of the newer version.

I often use www.backports.org when I need a prebuilt package from Debian's testing/unstable branches - I don't see gcalctool listed. The alternative is to grab the sources and generate your own package, but this can be problematic.. gcalctool requires gnome-doc-utils-0.3.2 and debhelper-5.0, neither being available from the main Debian Sarge repository. debhelper-5.0 is in backports, but gnome-doc-utils has another set of build dependencies not so easily met.. Nothing that can't be overcome given sufficient time and resources. gcalctool-5.8.25 has been uploaded to the bdi4emc repository along with a couple of other packages that newer gnome stuff require.
also synergy-cad upgrades each and every time i do apt-get upgrade, can i correct this?
Comment out the webersys.com repository is about all I can suggest - I suspect a timestamp is wrong somewhere, but seeing as Synergy is a non-free package, I can't do much about it. Regards, Paul.
