I know that installing apt pointing to an entirely different repository isn't going to help this problem. I don't know how smart would react to it and thus, I would never suggest this to her as a solution. If you 'know' that smart can fix this problem - then by all means, let us know. If you don't know that smart can fix this problem, would you suggest that your advice give above might not be the proper advice to give to her? Craig
