kilosLangjan, but in future you will update when it suits you15:29

kilosi am sure because update manager couldnt get past the broken package to install 15:30
kilosnlsthzn, yip15:30
kilosyoohoo15:30
kilosand other packages couldnt be install because update manager was running without being able to do anything that was the problem15:31
