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++
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
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.

elm-me+ was removed from woody due to a long-standing release-critical
bug (fixed in ...99c-1).

The potato version is still available from
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/mail/elm-me+_2.4pl25ME+66-1.deb
Alternatively, you can add
deb-src http://ftp.hr.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
to /etc/apt/sources.list, and build the package yourself:
# apt-get update
# apt-get build-dep elm-me+
# apt-get -b source elm-me+
[...]

Hmm, version 0.5.4 handles the plus just fine. You can always install
it manually with
# dpkg -i elm-me+_*.deb
Thanks,
