Generally, the "apt-get -t sid" command you ran simply installs a binary from sid, which is different than porting a package from unstable sources to the stable system. These are two very different things (though you also have the "build-dep" command there, so I'm not sure). Anyway, I would not proceed. If you have an unstable/sid "deb" repository, rather than the "deb-src" repository listed in your sources.list, then I would comment it out. Get the proper deb-src repository listed (which is listed in the following url). The stuff I took from the manual is at http://tinyurl.com/3qkl88x Try what it says (though don't worry about the "$ dch -i" step, and run the "apt-get build-dep" step with sudo, as you would with the other commands that are preceded with a hash-tag). Good luck. Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected] Archive: http://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
