Since Debian Testing/Unstable has Kicad packages version 20100314, one thing you could attempt is to backport it yourself to Lenny, Debian has some pretty easy to use tools for that. First, add the source repositories of Testing or Unstable (or both) to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free and/or deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free I use the German mirrors, you could replace that with anything you want to use. Then issue an apt-get update (as root) to get the updated list of (source packages). Before you can build it, you should install any needed development libraries: apt-get build-dep kicad (as root) Finally, download the source package and build it: apt-get source kicad (will download and extract in current working directory) cd kicad-0.0.20100314 (version could change) dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us (as root, or using "fakeroot") The last command, when it finishes it will produce all the .deb packages of kicad, which you can install graphically, or with "dpkg -i". After you're done, you could remove the deb-src line(s) from sources.list and re-run apt-get update, or keep it in case you want to backport other packages as well.
