You can try to manually install the gnome-games package(apt-get install gnome-games), I've found it helps out sometimes. Greg -- Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion. -- Mark Twain

What's up with Mozilla

2001-02-27 Thread Greg Gilbert
What's going on with Mozilla packages. Sid still has Mozilla M18, and the maintainer seems to be ignoring all requests for an upgrade to something more recent(Like 0.8). Has the package been orphaned or something? Greg ps. If multiple copies come through I appologize.

Sounds like someone disobeyed the XFree86 maintainer when he said not to build packages against the beta packages of XFree86 4. They are on www.debian.org/~branden if you are willing to upgrade. If you don't want to upgrade, you can just try and get the stuff you need for gnome manually. G
