If you don't already, add a 'source' package list line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free As root, from a directory you don't mind building in: $ apt-get update $ apt-get source mutt Get the appropriate comresseded mailbox patch, and follow directions for applying patch, from: http://www.spinnaker.de/mutt/compressed/ You need to create a new rules file from the old one as follows. [root@navel:debian]$ diff rules.old rules 17c17,18 < --with-pgp --with-mixmaster --with-ncurses --with-sasl --- > --with-pgp --with-mixmaster --with-ncurses --with-sasl \ > --enable-compressed Build and make package. Following assumes you're in the mutt source directory: $ debian/rules build $ debian/rules binary If everything looks OK, install: $ dpkg -i ../mutt<version>.deb You might want to place this on hold so it's not overwritten on your next upgrade: $ echo "mutt hold" | dpkg --set-selections Cheers. -- Karsten M.
