Also mixing releases from what i have seen if generally not a good idea as they tend to introduce other dependancies which seem to always come back and bite you. Step:2 is to try and rebuild the package for your version of Debian assuming it is a simple configure make and make install but looking at amivsd-new deps i would not hold my breath as they have introduced the redis key store and some other major changes. Now personally i tend to build the package for my current release or find someone else who has. Just keep in mind the debian guys usually update when there is a good reason to do so and you get the security fixes if and when they come out. If you are interested debian has a decent how-to on re-building existing packages from src debs and this is pretty simple and straight forward todo. Later, Nick
