Most packages have been removed from Lenny by now. Please see my recent mail to debian-release and the followups: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/05/msg00118.html What you could do (I planned to do it myself, but openssl came along): File bugs on packages build-depending on freetype1-tools and test/ provide patches to fix them to use freetype2-demos instead: latex-cjk-chinese-arphic apt-howto debian-reference maint-guide Also some packages are fixed in unstable, but haven't migrated to testing yet: pike7.6 (currently blocked by perl transition) webalizer (only 7/10 days old) Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
