I did have 1.10.28 from sarge, but I upgraded gcc to build a package earlier. I will change the link to point to the right one.
I got dpkg from amd64.debian.net unstable, I think. But I may be wrong. Thanks for your help. Also - forgive the newbie question - but can someone tell me how to 'downgrade' a package? Is it a matter of removing it completely then picking the right apt source to install from?
