Unless you NEED to update, don't. potato (unstable) is going to be in for a rough month. Many new and untested things are coming in. A possible solution is to download the package source and build it yourself. Get the xchat orig.tar.gz, dsc and diff.gz. Then do: dpkg-source -x <file>.dsc cd to the created dir and type: debian/rules binary You will than have your own deb package. Sean 'Shaleh' Perry soon to be former X Chat maintainer
