Oh yes, I found *two* :-) Unofficial sources, though I used http://ubuntu.moshen.de but I also found http://www.janvitus.netsons.org The last one is said to have a somewhat unstable connection though: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=196093&page=3 >> When I tried to build the tarballs myself, I got a lot of dependency >> problems ... >> >> From BUILDING: >> >> Requirements: >> Qt >= 3.3 (3.3.3 recommended) >> Freetype >= 2.1.3 (2.1.9+ recommended) >> libart >= 2.3.8+ (2.3.17+ recommended) >> >> ... and for the libarts I have som problems: (./configure gives) >> >> configure: error: You need at least libart 2.3.8 .

Thank you veru much, that did it :-) apt-get install libart-devel (and then ./configure, make and make install) And the build-version *does* luckily open my odt-file withoyt the mentioned bug :-D I dont know why the packages from moshen.de did not work though :-( Perhaps I ought to send him a note about this ... What confused me for a second by the new installed package 1.3.3.3 is that the executable file is in /usr/local/bin/scribus As I also have /usr/bin/scribus this is a bit unfortunate. Of course I can fix this reference manually, but I think this should be managed by the install script, perhaps to /usr/local/bin/scribus-ng (because when i now run scribus from the commandline it gives me 2.4.1, the standard ubuntu-package. And I have to give the whole path /usr/local/bin/scribus to run the new version). This is of course a small problem, but ... > Once you crank through that, you're good to go. >> By the way: I supposed that what I would get from the tarball is the >> same as the package from moshen.de ? >> > Not sure about that. Current released version from Scribus is 1.3.3.3 After downloading and using that package: yes, it is 1.3.3.3. This is also stated here: http://ubuntu.moshen.de/dists/dapper/misc/ Best regards Axel Bojer
