Of course for me it really isn't that big of an issue as I block them all at the firewall anyway but from the discription of netstd I would say the goal is to be able to remove it... Just seems some packages still have some dependency issues... Would seem the culprit is netbase as most packages require it and if it wants to be uninstall'd by removing netstd then fixin it's dependencies would solve the problem... I haven't seen this issue on either of my i386 or alpha machines (4 machines total)... Respectfully, Jeremy T.
