-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi Tom, most probably you won't get help for you problems on this list. This is (even if the title might be misleading) a list for people who (or want to) prepare packages for Debian. They can get help here with packaging and find Debian Developers (DDs) who upload their packages. As described on the lists homepage at http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/ its for newbie _developers_.
You are most certainly more at home on one of the users-lists or in a forum of you liking. A few examples: * debian-user (http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/) and its localized frieds (debian-user-[NAME OF LANGUAGE] like debian-user-german) * http://www.debianforum.de/ the German Debian forum I hope it helped you.
