Knoppix is Debian, and uses its repositories. You could check it yourself from /etc/apt/sources.lists . The problem is that it mixes up different stages, Stable, Testing, Experimental, etc., which creates these issues. The issue is with Debian package, as my snapshots will show. I use both Debian and Knoppix. Unfortunately, my Debian is Lenny, and Scope does not have a Lenny version. Therefore, I am compelled to use Knoppix 7.2 as it was Knoppix that introduced me to Geany the first time. :) > I also think I understood you manually installed the packages rather > than adding a repository... No, I tried, but that didn't work because of compatibility issue. I don't force packages. In the end, I thank you for responding to my email. I will try to install Geany and plugins via sources.
