Hi Peter,
Contrary to the other replies, I have gaim running just fine on sarge
using the regular debian main sources.
Be sure you have a) correct debian sources in /etc/apt/sources.list, and
b) update from synaptics. Then install gaim or anything else.
Do read the docs, especially the Debian Reference Manual:
http://qref.sourceforge.net/ or install the debian-reference package.
While there are many useful packages in non-debian archives, you don't
need them for gaim in sarge.
Regards,
Ralph
