I might try grabbing the source packages for diald and cat from potato but
compiling them under slink. An easy way to do this might be to get the
.orig.gz, the .dsc and .diff for each source package and put them in their
own directories. Then you would do a:
dpkg-source -x <package>.dsc which will create a new subdirectory with the
debianized source. Then just cd to that subdir and do a:
build
to create a new .deb in the parent directory. Install that and see if it
works.
If you have compile problems, it might be a libc6.0 vs. libc6.1 problem.
