I've noticed that issue as well,... Even when I went over to download the 'classic' tgz files, compliled and installed it. pan does have its latest version released under unstable. Eventually it will filter down to the testing then stable trees. When it does when you run your apt-get upgrade it should automatically update the existing pan with the latest.
The only thing you need to be careful of, if you install a program using the tgz, it'll probably put the binaries/libs/man pages under /usr/local, but if you install it using the deb, it will be under /usr A simple way around this issue is when installing the tgz, run the following procedure to install it under /usr: $ tar xfvz pan-0.10.0.tar.gz $ cd pan-0.10.0 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr $ make (logon as root) # make install And it should all be okay. -- Adam McDaniel Infrastructure Technology Consultant M-Tech Mercury Information Technology, Inc.
