Hi,

I noticed in the 'dpkg -l' listing several packages with 'ds4' in their version info.

Most of the X windows packages have this indicator plus 'libdps1' and 'libxaw7'.

I am guessing that this means that these packages have been adapted for DSL?

I am also guessing that upgrading such packages may cause unpredictable results in DSL?

Are my guesses correct?

If so, are there any other packages that a DSL user should be careful not to upgrade?

Regards,

Geoff.
