I have another experience. After I have installed Debian, my package management program becomes a mess, and I install new packages with dpkg after downloading from the Debian site. Although I do not run gnome, I installed gnumeric this way (in Potato), and had to install only a few extra packages (do not remember which ones, but less than five) because of dependencies. Gnumeric runs fairly well now. Paul Huygen.
