here's an old answer, slightly polished (and hopefully not introducing to many bugs). run each line (apart from the <script>-tags) in your terminal: <script> export LANG=C MAINREPO=https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/ PDVER=0.50.2-1 sudo apt-get install devscripts mkdir -p build cd build dget -u ${MAINREPO}/p/puredata/puredata_${PDVER}.dsc cd puredata-${PDVER%-*} mk-build-deps -ir dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot sudo dpkg -i ../*${PDVER}_*.deb </script> if there are errors, read them out loud. gfasdmr IOhannes
