The could be a number of bugs in it. I would advise you to use a more current package at least to test if the problem still persists. I think you will find the features added since 1.2.1 quite attractive as well. Please read http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Scribus_on_Debian_GNU/Linux to find out how you could get current Scribus 1.2.3cvs and 1.3.1cvs packages built specifically for Debian Sarge (so you won't need to upgrade to testing/unstable). In short, add the following source lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list: # debian.scribus.net - Primary repository deb http://debian.scribus.net/debian/ stable main non-free contrib # debian.tagancha.org - Backup repository deb http://debian.tagancha.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib and proceed to update your scribus package (1.2.x) or install the scribus-cvs (1.3.x) package in parallel with the "scribus" package. If you will encounter Debian-related problems with these packages please don't hesitate to contact me directly. Regards, Alex.
