Is up2date still getting any attention? This program was busted since the libssl versions went up to an .so.5 symlink to the libs. The problem is tht to get the GUI to work, I have to add a package to the exclusions list in order to be able to have the forward button highlighted for usage. I can even deselect the specific package added to the exclusion list and up2date will still work for installing packages.
Several different bugs have been opened regrding this issue. Getting the forward button to work when you select a program to be instaled from the exclusion list seems to indicate it would not be too hard to figure out why the button works when an excluded package is selected, but not if you never see the excluded package screen.
