Alexander,

thanks. I wasn't sure it was correct either - it seemed to be showing
AP_SCAN 1 in the log files, and I thought the replacement should have
changed that to AP_SCAN 2. However, dpkg did seem to do a replacement, and
Synaptic showed an ubuntu2 version before, and an ubuntu4 version
afterward. I will play with these things a bit more when I find time.

In the meantime, I will check out the archive deb package and see how I go
with that.

Matt
