First of all: I did/do not mean to be impolite. Sorry if I was.

Sorry, but I'm afraid YOUR contextual reading skills lack something: If I read about "A list of package names, [optionally including wildcards,] to skip" (sorry for quoting that again) in the context of up2date, then for me it's quite obvious, what is meant. If you still ask IN WHAT WAY they are skipped: I don't know the technical background, e. g. I cannot tell you, if the headerfiles are skipped in downloading or only the package is skipped on updates. But I think this doesn't matter for the users, does it? If you still have questions/problems with the config file, I suggest You use 'up2date-config' instead of editing the file by hand. You should have comments as well as Spanish translation there. Regards Christoph
