This package won't work in Debian testing, the reason being that xfce-theme-manager is built against libxfce4ui-1-0 (>= 4.11.0), and testing only has version 4.10.0 of this library ATM. > On this website, which was dealing with e.g. xubuntu not debian the commands > recommended to install it were: > > sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rebuntu16/other-stuff > sudo apt-get update > sudo apt-get install xfce-theme-manager > > I think the reason it may not be working in my case is that I don't know what > the correct equivalent of > > sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rebuntu16/other-stuff > > would be for a debian user. That's Ubuntu way of saying 'Please add this line to /etc/apt/sources-list.d: deb https://launchpad.net/~rebuntu16/+archive ubuntu But, since this package won't do you any good anyway - don't bother. Just rebuild it from the source, and install it conventional way. Reco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
