I am new to Debian (coming from Mandrake) and I don't yet know how to do things the "Debian Way" so please excuse my ignorance and naive questions. I have tried to read the documentation but the packaging system is difficult for me to understand with all the different programs out there (apt, dselect, dpkg).
I want to upgrade a package, newsclipper, from 1.17 to 1.28. The version 1.28 was just uploaded to the ftp pools about a week ago. I cannot find the 1.28 package by searching the normal package locations (http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages), only the older version. However, I have found the .deb file in http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/newsclipper/ My question is, what is the best way to install this package? Should I use apt-get (if so, how should I modify the sources list?), dpkg, dselect, etc.? Also, newsclipper_1.28 seems to depend on a file liblockfile-simple-perl that I cannot find anywhere. How should I handle this? Thanks for your help and your patience. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.com/
