I posted over a week ago on Ubuntu forums. No responses.

OK, I browsed there, but there are no .deb packages there that 
look like 64-  bit. But if I go deeper I find some that might be what 
you are referring to. 

I also tried adding that line to Synaptic repositories, but it didn't 
work. Synaptic is very strange about that. If the location doesn't 
exist or 
there is 
some other error (e.g., no packages at that site), you'd think it would say 
so. But all that happens is a great deal of nothing. It reloads the packages 
and you think it has found the new packages, but when you go into 
Settings you discover that the source you just typed into the Add > 
Custom box a few minutes earlier is not listed. Evidently it just decides to 
ignore it without so much as a whisper. 



Maybe I should just download it and do it manually. Exactly which file is it?
