probably the silly build daemon decided not to build it, try this: cd /usr/src mkdir gnome-core cd gnome-core apt-get -b source gnome-core either as root or wrap the apt-get command in fakeroot, that should build you a binary .deb for gnome-core 1.0.55-2 which you can install by: dpkg -i gnome-core-blah-blah-blah.deb i do this all the time for various packages the build daemon natoriously neglects to build, i don't think i have ever had a problem with it. once the official debian package is installed in the archive it will be installed over your locally compiled .deb. welcome aboard! -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
