Hi Sorry for the bother.
As closely as possible I followed the instructions at http://www.debian.org/~hp/gnome-apt.html I added deb http://www.debian.org/~mblevin/gnome-apt ./ to my apt/sources file, updated, downloaded and installed. gnome-apt will start and I can view the installed files, but I can't update: Update failed. The following errors may help: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/ftp could not be found. I saw one other person with this note on the linux.debian.user group, but saw no response. I also tried compiling the source from scratch, but that too failed to produce the ftp object. In fact I manually descended to the ftp directory and ran make, but encountered bash-2.01$ make Compiling parsescript.cc to ../../obj/methods/ftp/parsescript.o parsescript.cc:16: strutl.h: No such file or directory make: *** [../../obj/methods/ftp/parsescript.o] Error 1 Any suggestions welcome.
