+ <para>On occasion you may run into a situation in the book when a package
+ will not build or work properly. Though the Editors attempt to ensure
+ that every package in the book builds and works properly, sometimes a

+ <para>If you discover that a package will not build or work properly, you
+ should see if there is a more current version of the package. Typically
+ this means you go to the maintainer's web site and download the most
current
+ tarball and attempt to build the package. If you cannot determine the
+ maintainer's web site by looking at the download URLs, use Google and query
+ the package's name. For example, in the Google search bar type:
+ 'package_name download' (omit the quotes) or something similar. Sometimes
+ typing: 'package_name home page' will result in you finding the
+ maintainer's web site.</para>
