If you're running stable (stretch right now) you can try backporting the package. To do this you'd need to install various development packages, or build the package in a clean chroot using one of pbuilder/cowbuilder, sbuild, etc. Please note that official backports must come from testing (buster right now), so afaict your hypothetical scribus-ng would not be a candidate until after scribus-ng is some day uploaded to unstable and after it migrates to testing. As a Slackware guy I'm guessing you prefer to install all development packages and headers to your main system? To use dpkg's dependency resolution to do this for you: dget URL_of_source_package cd source_package apt-get build-dep ./ Cheers! Nicholas
