Unstable has 0.47, experimental has 0.48 Backports seems not to have it. > 2. How do I upgrade to that release? Change /etc/apt/sources.list so that it says unstable instead of stable or lenny, then do "aptitude update; aptitude dist-upgrade". Then add lines that point to experimental (add to, not replace; experimental only has a few packages of it's own, the rest must come from unstable). Then you need to explicitly select inkscape 0.48 (I recommend aptitude in interactive mode), as a regular aptitude upgrade will not pull in experimental packages. Or you might want to upgrade to testing first, then to unstable/experimental. In any case, unstable is pretty calm right now, due to the freeze, so there shouldn't be too many issues.
