Bug#169030: elm-me+: No version exists in stable
Package: elm-me+
Version: 2.4pl25ME+95-3
Severity: normal
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=elm-me&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all
lists version elm-me+ 2.4pl25ME+99c-3 for both testing and unstable, but
nothing for stable.
What is the easiest way to install a good but not necessarily very recent
version of elm-me+ on stable?
In May before woody became stable, I installed version 2.4pl25ME+95-3 on an
older woody machine padua (which I am running reportbug on), but on a newly
installed woody machine now I get
pisa# apt-get -q -s install elm-me+
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
E: Couldn't find package elm-me
pisa# apt-get -q -s install elm-me++

E: Couldn't find package elm-me
even though /etc/apt/sources.list has a source for "stable main non-free".
There doesn't seem to be a version in contrib for stable either.
Apart from the missing package, how would I deal with the "+" sign in the
name? Note above that even when I put two plusses apt-get removed both of
them.
