What do i expect of testing? It is a branch to test relativly bugless (that mean running) programms and not for use in allday life... Is there a special reason not use stable? New version of sylpheed should be easy to backport or to compile with stow as any other desktop enviroment. I find it a bit strange (not only of you, as i hear of seomtehing like that every second or third day) to install testing or even unstable to not experienced linux or debian users.... Every IMHO naturally... :) Mario -- One Editor to rule them all. One Editor to find them, One Editor to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. (do ((a 1 b) (b 1 (+ a b))) (nil a) (print a))
