If you take a quick look at it you'll see that the only thing you really need to do is to add our repositories to your package manager. Then, it's just like using the main Debian or Ubuntu archive i.e. business as usual, which means that all dependencies are taken care of automagically and you have nothing to worry about in that regard. Cheers, Alex. Thanks. I had added the Scribus repositories and it did not seem to have the gs-afpl that was specified in the tutorial "Getting Started with Scribus". However, someone later pointed that if I have GhostScript (gs) version 8.60 or later, I would be OK. In fact, I do have 8.61 and so far, things seem to be working. I am COMPLETELY new to Scribus (or any similar software for that matter), so it a bit of a steep learning curve for me.
