If you add those lines to your Synaptic repositories: deb http://debian.scribus.net/debian breezy main restricted deb-src http://debian.scribus.net/debian breezy main restricted deb http://debian.tagancha.org/debian breezy main restricted deb-src http://debian.tagancha.org/debian breezy main restricted and update them, you'll see those 5 entries including Scribus 1.3.1 under the available packages: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Image:Scribus_synaptic1.png Having said this, Scribus 1.3.1 didn't work for me on Ubuntu 5.10, i.e. the package installed cleanly but isn't usable after that: for some reason, Scribus window dissapears somewhere beyond the right edge of the desktop and cannot be used, it's quite a mess. I'm using Gnome, perhaps other Gnome/Ubuntu users could verify this in order to make the life of our Ubuntu packager easier. regards Maciej
