*** Alex - excellent... thank you for answering. *** I wonder... you may know... will there be *** a newer release of Sarge, including any of *** the newer Scribus releases on CD already ? *** This is the always best for me, as I don't have *** an internet connection for debian online upgrading. *** I did try a binary 1.2.3... but this caused me *** troubles with my computer... because, any *** unpacking or access of that file seemed to *** start some binary running... what would happen *** is my zip just start clicking, and couldn't complete *** the unpacking or moving, or whatever... no good :) *** Also I did try the day before a tar.gz, which unpacked, *** OK, but did not include a newer lib file... so I am trying *** today again... hopefully, a file called "diff" actually *** contains the new files needed ? I dont know yet. *** Alex is a lucky fellow... debian and Scribus are tops !
