But there you've still got the `doesn't automatically update via APT' situation, don't you (in which case, you might still be better off with the `lenny-backports' thing)? Or does Adobe actually have an APT archive, somewhere? I see that they have an "apt:" URL in use `for Ubuntu 9.04+', which presumably finds it in Ubuntu's stock archive (but no package by that name is visible at packages.ubuntu.com; maybe that's intentional...). And I'm inclined to go, `wait--isn't Ubuntu 9.04 2 years behind at this point?', but I guess that'd just-about equate to the Debian release that just came out, huh? ;) (and it looks like your .deb is supposed to be `for Ubuntu 8.04+'; maybe that means `works with the Debian released in 2009', maybe not). -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
