They are packaging sesame split out from soprano, in multiverse, that is some kind of communitary non-free repository. AFAIK, this is not ubuntu. Just some extra repos they give support and you have to activate in your sources. Alike to Debian's non-free. I understood your first email as they were shipping sesame2 *inside* soprano which defitively made things different. > And the only additional dependency it adds is java2-runtime, which debian > already packages. > Then, you can get the package, rebuild for yourself for Debian and report the problems you find to upstream. Read pusling's mail in the thread for some more help :) As said, nobody in the team is interested in maintaining that. Once yu have it in the archive, even if it is non-free, you have to give it a minimum of support and take care of reverse deps, etc. Ana -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
