Download the source and compile it. To minimize problems with dependencies bump the version to a NMU. (Oh, sorry that was Debianspeak. Here the translation: To minimize collisions with later uploads and to circumvent the checking of dependencies for your personally compiled gtkicq, change the version number to that of a non maintainer upload (e.g. gtkicq_0.57-1 to gtkicq_0.57-1.1) edit .../debian/changelog for this. ) HTH, Jens -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] KeyID: 2048/E451C639 1998/01/28 Print: 5F 3D 43 1E 24 1E CC 48 1E 05 93 3A A7 10 73 37 Nach dem Spiel, After the game, ist vor dem Spiel. is before the game. -- Sepp Herberger
