Well you'll also find that "apt-get install top" and "dpkg -l top" don't work either, for the reason that "top" is not a Debian package! Try "dpkg -S `which top`", which will tell you that "top" is in the package "procps", then "apt-build source procps", etc. > I have played with it a bit and find it will not download things like > openoffice.org or gnome-core It works for me (at least it starts downloading stuff): apt-build install openoffice.org I think if you already have openoffice.org installed, it won't download it for some reason, I had that trouble when running "apt-build install procps", but "apt-build source procps" still works to download it. This is a bit weird, I agree. "apt-build build-source procps" works, then you can install it with dpkg, but for some reason the "install" command doesn't do this automatically if a version of the package is already installed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
