I did find the package in synaptic, but an attempt to install from there yields - The following packages have unmet dependencies: mtpfs : Depends: libmtp8 (>= 0.3.1) but it is not installable E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I'm downloading the tarball of the package now to see if it can be built. Since I do have libmtp9 on this system, hopefully I can build / configure it with the newer lib without too much challenge. I'll update this once I get back to that system later today. -- Regards Jack Boston Tea Party, Coercive Acts, Powder Alarm, Revolution Lessons (Mistakes) not learned are bound to be repeated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
