One thing, Why oh why do they split it up, amsn requires amsn-data .. what
the heck is the point, why can't they just leave it as one since you need
both. I had hoped Ubuntu  did not follow its sister OS Debian in its
draconic ways, but it seems it has, they tout more packages then any other
distro, it seems that is because they split a simple program into many
packages, as much as I hate the troll that calls itself Res, I do agree with
he/she on that point, most annoying.
Thank you anyway Leo ,I'll await the update
ciao
