Hi, Tim.

I don't understand your package versions:

bio-linux-emboss 1:1bl1-1 means	epoch = 1, upstream = 1bl1, deb = 1
bio-linux-emboss 6.3bl1-8 means	epoch = 0, upstream = 6.3bl1, deb = 8

I posted to the list because that looks like upstream 6.3bl1 is newer 
than upstream 1bl1 to me. Have I got that wrong?

Drat, that means all our NBX's are going to be broken: Well, maybe it's 
time to upgrade them to Bio-Linux 7 anyway :-)

OK, I'll report anything I find + I'll take a look at Wubi too.
