Greetings! I have a debian system running woody, and tried to load up the HelixCode using their installer. Everything seemed to work okay, but even though I selected the full install, many packages were not installed (such as the 1.1.24 gimp, etc.) When I did an apt-get update, apt-get upgrade. It said there were no updated packages, and when I tried apt-get install gimp, or searched for the packages in dselect they did not appear.
Here is the confusing part - once I had dselect update, the packages appeared, and I could install them. Is there something I don't know about apt-get update? I assumed it would have updated the package list. Am I doing something wrong? tim
