I'd like to add that although downloading and compiling the swig package works, that compiling subversion breaks with the following message:
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is subversion dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 1.0.8-1 dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is David Kimdon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is amd64 debian/rules clean /bin/sh: none: No such file or directory debian/rules:89: *** target file `debian/control' has both : and :: entries. Stop. Build command 'cd subversion-1.0.8 && dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' failed. E: Child process failed Granted, it's possible it could have compiled and ended up with the same broken depencency. -Lew
