Unless you want to play with the beta versions, the potato deb (correctly)
sticks with the latest stable.

If you're still running slink, you'll probably want to compile the latest
for yourself anyway, since slink stays with 0.44 (latest stable is 0.61,
beta is 0.70f). If you only want to upgrade slink to the version in
potato, you might want to compile from the debianized sources.

After you change the options, do you pick "Save Options"?

Could you post the actual errors, as well as the version of licq you're
trying to compile?
