Be sure to actually check the listed paths in the Packages.gz file to
make sure that they are pointing to the deb files in question.
It sounds like you have the Packages file written in the proper format
so that it can be added to the package tree via APT or Synaptic
(frontend to apt), but that

Another coomon mail agent to try is evolution, especially if you are a
fan of GNOME, since it sports heavy integration with the desktop, and is
the preferred agent for GNOME.
It's very Outlookish, if you like that sort of thing. It has several
advantages, including support for PGP/GPG, HTML, MIME
If you are using GNOME and want to use ALSA instead you must also
install the gstreamer-alsa package if you want to get ALSA
pipes working. The version number varies depending on which branch of
Debian you have. I believe it is 0.8 for Sarge.
You can then set ALSA as the default in preferences
Oh, I forgot. You might also have to load ALSA's OSS compatibility
driver, if it isn't already when you use an OSS app. It's normally
named something like snd_pcm_oss, if I recall correctly.

Hi everyone:

Hi Michael,
I'm just going to add my two cents here. I hope I can help you.
Joris' suggestion of using ACL's isn't a bad one, but IMHO new users
really have trouble understanding the ACL mechanism. Unless I'm really
missing part of the discussion, I don't see the need to use it here.

you might be able to get the results you desire. I can't say for sure,
since I didn't setup what you are using.

Before I can make suggestions, I need to know if you are using a daemon

I'm sorry you had problems with my suggestion. Most often, these

I'd like to suggest a change to the "Simple Backport" wikipage at

The page suggests using: dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc.

you use: debuild -us -uc instead. The package scripts seem t
