linux.debian.user is a read-only gateway from 
debian-user@lists.debian.org  so very few saw your post.

You can post without subscribing to debian-user@lists.debian.org and 
just read the newsgroup.  It's what I do.

I'm sure you'll get a response soon there.  Also, try 
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

Good luck.
