Hey how you doing? I was in a similar situation as you. I installed the stable Debian etch and I required a few new packages. The best way to go about this is to compile them from source. It can get quite a bit tedious at times but here are a few tips:
1. Follow the README and INSTALL file include in the src tarball. 2. Then install all the required dependencies. * They are usually listed in the README or INSTALL file. * If there are libraries required, install them via aptitude along with the '-dev' packages. 3. You can use GNU Stow to manage these installs or simply just run 'make uninstall' in the src directory if you want to uninstall the software. I have compiled the following packages successfully on my system: 1. claws mail 3.0.2 2. Freepops 0.2.5 3. libdvdcss 4. and a few other small packages...
