Hi Florian.
I've just booted up my Etch install, which is on the same machine as Lenny.and
soundtracker works ok, without any problem on Etch. It appears to be an
earlier version of Soundtracker though (0.6.8-2 (stable)).
Perhaps I should contact the Soundtracker maintainer who appears to be:
Junichi Uskawa<dancer@debian.org>
It's a shame when the authors/maintainers of packages have lost interest in
providing support for the packages that they have been maintaining.
I suppose we could always install soundtracker from a source tarball. I've
dealt with dependency hell before, and it's not a lot of fun, but sometimes
with a bit of help from the lists, you can get the app up, and running.
Nigel.
