Problem with the alpha for not having the packages needed by Ubiquity? Or do I need to modify ubiquity's dependencies? Rebuild the deb's? Or other problem? Kindly Pieter </pre> </blockquote> Pieter, Don't install all of the debs created.  You likely only want one or two of the frontends.  There are lots more dependencies to the GTK frontend and the KDE frontend.  Additionally, to make sure all the dependencies are really close in versioning, you should do this with one of the daily disks instead.  You can grab one from  <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cdimages.ubuntu.com">http://cdimages.ubuntu.com</a> Regards, <pre class="moz-signature" cols="80">-- Mario Limonciello <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:superm1@ubuntu.com">superm1@ubuntu.com</a> </pre> </body> </html>
