Tim,

Does this mean that bio-linux 6 users should eliminate the nebc repo in their sources.list?

Regards,

Tony Pemberton

Hi Tony,

I can go and push all the new packages to the server today, which will save you from having to see a warning that packages might be "local", but I warn you - all your NBX users on 10.04 are going to get a whole lot of nasty warnings appearing.  Is that OK?

Otherwise my suggestion would be to re-run my installer script and let it clean things up for you:

Cheers,
