my problem was not getting it installed, it already was, my problem is it cannot be updated since it needs newer groff, i never use dselect so that was not an issue, but for those who do they would likely get a screwed system again. i just tried apt-get source slocate groff and running dpkg-buildpackage on those and both built perfectly and installed perfectly. what I would like to know is what is causeing powerpc packages to get left behind like this when it seems there is no techical reason preventing there build... is it a lack of ppc machines to do the builds on? -- Ethan Benson
