You could just change the sources.list to unstable, run apt-get update, and then apt-get -u modutils. It'll download any newer versions of whatever packages you need. '-u' will show you which packages are going to be upgraded, so if you think there are too many, and you'd prefer to compile from sources, you'll know before you commit to anything. Dave
