Oh wait. I did find the link you mention. Also, for some reason, aptitude and apt are not getting a file list from the experimental repo (and a couple others). (getting this: W: GPG error: http://debian.dc-uoit.net stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907 W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release Unable to find expected entry experimental/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) and seeing Ign: in front of several repositories when updating). Server down? Likely if I can get that resolved (or wait for the server to be back up?) then I can solve this problem as you mention, with the debian experimental files. tony -- http://www.baldwinlinguas.com http://www.baldwinsoftware.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
