I tried a brute force approach to getting the unstable package for gtoaster; I downloaded the deb and did a dpkg -i. I figured if there were missing prerequisites, it would not install.
I got lots of errors about missing files of the appropriate version, but I seem to be running the new code when I start gtoaster. Can anyone tell me what state things are in? Specifically, do I need to remove the current install and then reinstall the woody-appropriate package? Here's my terminal transcript. When I ran gtoaster the new version started up with a panel telling me about its new abilities and some modifications it was making to other files. wheat:/usr/local/download# ls -lt | head -1 total 19848 -rw-r--r-- 1 ross staff 335204 Jun 22 22:48 gtoaster_0.2001060411-2_ i386.deb wheat:/usr/local/download# dpkg -i gtoaster_0.2001060411-2_i386.deb (Reading database ... 102341 files and directories currently installed.)
