Thanks, Daniel. The main reason for using LTS is IMHO not so much the stability, but freedom from update-terror for two years. Unfortunately this breaks when important packages have major updates out of step with the LTS-cycle, as with KDE, QT and Scribus, presumably also soon with Gnome. I personally would be happier to forget the LTS versions, but to also only have one new version per year. > Since at least Jaunty there is a package called scribus-ng with a more > recent version of scribus.

Yes, in Hardy scribus-ng *is* version 1.3.4, which contains most of the features of 1.3.5. but using QT3 instead of QT4. Understandably nobody wants to fix the bugs in this now that 1.3.6 will be out soon. It was my mistake to use scribus-ng at all, but now it is too late to go back, as it uses a new file format incompatible with Scribus 1.3.3. In this respect free software is no better than propietary SW; the format trap may not be intentional, but it is still there.
