To help further clarify the situation, the repositories selected are the=20 defaults: ftp://ftp.altlinux.com/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/Compact/2.3/ ftp://updates.altlinux.com/ ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/altlinux/updates/ ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/unix/linux/altlinux/updates/ That's all I see selected in the table. These requested updates that Synaptic wanted to do came right after I=20 installed Compact 2.3 on my system and did the first "check for updates." The reason I ask about the Junior 2.3 repository is that there's not much i= n=20 extra applications available in the Compact repositories. In order to get = my=20 HP 3-in-1 printer working I had to add the "Classic" repository to find the= =20 hpoj and hpijs drivers. There's also other apps that I have become partial to (like BlueFish, GFTP,= =20 and others) that are also not in the Compact 2.3 repositories. As I've mentioned before, I know taking apps from other repositories is=20 hazardous and I'd much rather find them in repositories made for=20 Compact/Junior 2.3 if available.
