Re: Quality of Helixcode's Debian Packages (was: Re: spidermonkey.helixcode.com down?)
I have had the same problems with Helix and libgnomeprint...
This was on a potato/woody (X4) system with no Debian GNOME packages. I filed a bug report posted to Helix-beta list and e-mailed someone directly with no response. I have become somewhat frustrated with the problems with Debian Helix packages. I don't believe they are being given much priority at all, as these problems RARELY occurred on my Helix installs in RedHat.
