Hi,
To aviod amount of problems, I suggest you to keep your source.list, as
it is not mandatory to change the source format. It is recommended, but
will not be required for a long. Just switch the format if needed and
once you understand it.
For your info, mine experimental.sources (arbitrary name) is:
Types: deb deb-src
URIs: http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/
Suites: experimental
Components: main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg
Possibly, you can use a more typical debian.sources with basic URLs and
specify experimental in suites: field.
But again, I suggest you do this after you have what you want from orca
point of view.
To install the experimental version of Orca, did you type: apt install
orca -t experimental ?
That should install automatically the dependencies.
Finally, to find the binary (but not sure it is the best idea), you can
search in snapshot.ebian.org.

Hi All: I was able to find the binary from experimental, but struggling
through those installation instructions, involving "meson _build" Says
it cannot find CMAKE when I did install it. Also, similar with at-spi2.
To make matters worse DEBIAN had me "modernize-sources" now its a new
format-and-while I did finally find the sources.list file in a newer
location, I don't understand the format-and-would either like to add
experimental to SID. As of now if I run update or installs it cannot
fetch packages. Also, even if I visit debian SID or experimental site,
there are no cattagories for accessibility-and-no search option which I
can see in LYNX. All that was there were a large text list of packages
with no download links. These are all reasons I am hoping there is a
direct dot deb file I can grab? Thanks so much in advance
