Embrik > ============================== > ORL (alias Yvette H.) > _______________________________________________ Embrik, The problem was that I didn't even have "scribus-ng" built for sarge until late last night when I read a log of your conversation with mrdocs in #scribus IRC channel. Now I do have such a package in our repositories, so you can install it. Try refreshing your package database (apt-get update) and installing Scribus 1.3 (apt-get install scribus-ng) again. I just tested the installation in my sarge build chroot and it went fine. Frankly, I thought nobody would be using Scribus 1.3 on Sarge because it has older libfreetype6 (2.1.7) and other things and my understanding is that Scribus works better with Etch/Sid versions of such libraries i.e. there can be glitches when using old libraries. You are quite welcome to try getting your job done on Sarge, of course. I just want to caution you that dist-upgrading to Etch could be a possibility if you hit a problem related to Sarge's old libraries. Etch is so close to becoming new stable that you shouldn't run into any strange problems.
