Yes, you're right - I was confused by the fact that I was able to install it on sarge without any need to tell apt explicitly to download unstable packages. > [...] > > > With this second change, the program is barely functional, but > > continues to print error messages that suggest to me it requires > > a more recent version of python-gnome2 than that in sarge. > I agree, thus I changed dependencies so that python-gnome2, > python-glade2 and python-gtk2 are at least 2.10 (current testing and > unstable versions). > > The problem will be fixed in the next upload. I've actually succeeded in making it build and run in sarge with some quite small changes, so it might be worth leaving the dependencies as they are. I'm attaching a patch that addresses all the issues I originally mentioned. This also puts the changes you made to configure (in patch 01_disable_modules_check.dpatch) into configure.ac along with the change needed to accept gnome.vfs in place of gnomevfs, as I believe it is considered bad practice to patch generated files such as configure scripts. Most of these changes could probably go upstream. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
