Hi,
any info on Dapper packages? Those on the Websterwood do not install due to dependency problems.

@daisy: you have to follow all of the steps for it to work. You just haven’t added the repository yet, or if you have, you haven’t said “sudo aptitude update” then do the install command.
Good Luck,

Can you not provide links to the .deb files for manual installation? Some people might prefer this to going via apt-get.
