It looks like the archive generation software is having a fit producing proper control files. I've just tried re-updating them, so please reload your package database and see if the new package version 1.3.5.dfsg~svn20090518rc1-1 shows up. Regards, Alex If it doesn't work you could manually install the deb from direct links: http://debian.tagancha.org/debian/dists/jaunty/main/binary-amd64/scribus-ng_1.3.5.dfsg~svn20090518rc1-1_amd64.deb or http://debian.tagancha.org/debian/dists/intrepid/main/binary-amd64/scribus-ng_1.3.5.dfsg~svn20090518rc1-1_amd64.deb
