A rather belated reply. But in case somebody's still trying to wrestle with Gimp1.2: I managed to install Ximian Gimp using just the packages for gimp1.2 and libgimp1.2 plus the version of libgtkxmhtml1 generated from building the sid source for gnome-libs1.2.8. I have some doubts however over my installation, as the output below shows. Why is "gimp1.2" still described as "Developers' release"? Did Ximian really use the final 1.2 sources? debian:~$ dpkg -l | grep "gimp1.2" ii gimp1.2 1.2.0-0potato1 Developers' release of the GNU Image Manipul ii libgimp1.2 1.2.0-0potato1 Developers' release of libraries necessary debian:~$ dpkg -l | grep "libgtkxmhtml" ii libgtkxmhtml1 1.2.8-3 The Gnome gtkxmhtml (HTML) widget
