Okay. If you want the newer version you will need to get it from unstable: 1. Add an apt-source line for the unstable distribution to /etc/apt/sources.list like so: deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main 2. run apt-get update 3. Change to a suitable build directory and run apt-get source --build netselect 4. With any luck you will not need any libraries and the package will be build for you in the current directory. -- Henry House OpenPGP key available from http://romana.hajhouse.org/hajhouse.asc
