On top of this, you should be using 1.3.3.x for production work. 1.3.4 is a development version. I think the debian packaging names are now confusing things. You should actually install the scribus package to get 1.3.3.9 or the scribus-ng package to get 1.3.4 and soon 1.3.5. Malex, please confirm this... Craig
