Okay, I've got it fixed now. It turns out that I had rar-2.80 version
2.80-woody2 installed from a long, long time ago. After I purged it and
reran my update, I had your version 2.80-2.1 available. The warning message
disappeared. I guess that dselect/apt didn't consider 2.80-2.1 a later
version than 2.80-woody2.

Thanks for the quick reply, and sorry for the bother,

Mark

btw, I see that you've got mythtv 0.24 packaged for testing already. That
was quick work. Are you going to bother with stable, or just forget about it
and wait for debian to finally release?
