Hi, a question from a dia user perspective:

Earlier this year I put together a Network diagram using the standard dia
install on SUSE. I've predominantly used Visio for this purpose for some
time, however I was really impressed with dia and based on my experience in
this instance, resolved that dia is absolutely a viable alternative for this
purpose.

I subsequently replaced SUSE with Linux Mint, however the default dia
install available in Mint is missing a lot of the Network elements that were
available to me on SUSE. Contrary to my earlier extremely positive
experience on SUSE, the small handful of "missing" network elements on Mint
unfortunately prevent dia from even being an option for producing Network
diagrams via the Mint platform.

I checked and both SUSE and MINT had the same version of dia (0.9.7 if I
recall correctly but I may be mistaken).

Can anyone shed some light on why the  same version of dia would have a
different set of elements to choose from, when installed on two different
Linux distributions?

And more importantly, can anyone advise on how I can correct this problem on
Mint and get access to the "missing" dia elements?
