Debs are available in unstable, if you use potato. Or if you're sticking with stable (not a bad idea), you could download the source debs from unstable and compile them on your slink machine. > also, I have the pine source package, plus the other pine package > (whose name I can't remember) I installed those using dpkg-i, which > means that the source is just sitting there. should I remove the > packages and go about it a different way? Did you follow the instructions in /usr/src/pine/README? If you have, then you can uninstall the source packages without any problems. If you haven't, you might want to do so before uninstalling the sources ;)
