You can probably still find older versions of the package in /var/cache/apt/archives/. Pick the one that worked and install it with "sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/<name-of-the-deb-file>". If you cannot find the right version locally then it should be possible to download it from http://snapshot.debian.net/. Furthermore, if you are using Unstable you can add the Testing branch to your /etc/apt/sources.list. That allows you to apt-get the Testing version of a package if such a problem should come up again. -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
