> It should be 1.3.3.8. Are you using our edgy repository? No, I mean the official repository (just pointing out that Elaine got this "only 1.2.x" wrong). (Actually, this "dfsg" in the version string means that this is a recompiled Debian package that has something from upstream excluded--is there anything non-free in the Scribus source tarball?) > If the scribus-ng from edgy doesn't work on feisty please tell me and > I'll build a package and start another branch in our repos. Why don't you create official packages & backports for Ubuntu instead? ;-) That would make things easier for most Ubuntu users... BTW: I think that at least some of the bugs that caused problems for Scribus in Ubuntu are fixed in Feisty (but I'm not 100% sure as I have no "virgin install" to test on right now). Feisty also includes the 'Polymer' Qt skin, so now Scribus doesn't have to look like a Win95 application (or worse). -- Jan Claeys
