Subject: Re: Ximian Gnome Problem
i had some problems with ximian too (on woody though) ...
for the alternative installation (the apt-get one) have you added the
particular ximian server to your sources-list? i don't remember the
address but you can find it at ximian.com
i remember in the beginning they actually forgot to add the task package,
but i think by now they've added it so basically, when you use potato and
added ximian to your sources list
# apt-get install task-ximian-gnome
should do the job. accordingly it should be easy to get rid of all ximian
packages and start over. i browsed through dselect and marked all packages
with "ximian" in the version number for deletion and that worked fine.
hope that helps!
