Wow..this question is coming up once a week now!
Short answer: go to ftp.netgod.net/x and get the updated packages.
The two .tar.gz files that you are referring to are source packages..
they contain the human-readable source code that can be compiled into
executable programs. Don't grab them unless you know that you must,
because building debs will take several hours.
