Optionally, you can see where the dependencies for that package can be satisfied. In general, libc6 dependancy will be sufficient. > Pre-Depends: dselect, libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-21) on http://packages.debian.org/libc6 you'll see stable (base): GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone data 2.3.2.ds1-22: amd64 arm hppa i386 m68k mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc so, it's for stable. But if it's not a package provided by debian, you probably want to rebuild the package, unless you're sure the package was built for that distribution. For example, I was trying to use phonegaim (debian sources available in linspire site). But then it needs the gizmo-project package (not depends, but recommended) which is available only as a binary package from the gizmo-project site. Apparently, the package is for stable, but it's uninstallable in stable because of other libraries which are in a older version in stable than that used to compile the package. Unfortunally, as I couldn't get the source for this gizmo thing, I gave up using phonegaim. But anyway, having the sources, there is a good chance to get it working inside your stable box. And working good. daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
