Just in case you are interested, the problems I had with scribus-ng seem to be caused by the package maintainer not updating the dependencies when they went from sarge to etch. It was still calling for sarge qt3 libraries and they weren't available, and it wouldn't work with them if they were available. Now I am waiting for them to get that straightened out so I can get a good install and put this project to bed. Thanks for all the help! Dennis
