There is an additional repository called Proposed. If you go to System > Administration > Software Sources, you can enable "intrepid-proposed" updates, which give you update packages that are less well-tested. Be aware that Proposed packages could break your system in the same sort of way that Ubuntu packages have done before they created the Proposed repository (i.e. Xorg not working). I have been up-to-date with Proposed for about a week, with no ill effects. (it's exciting!). I don't remember seeing an Evolution update; the problem you describe might be fixed for Jaunty, but not for Intrepid. Or the new package might not have been uploaded to Intrepid-Proposed yet. Or it was and I missed it. Chris Lees -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
