(Decided to start a new thread since this no longer applies to Gnumeric.) In the previous thread, you (James) said that "It's (abiword) in APT as abiword". All I can find is abiword-clipart, abiword-plugins-impexp, and abiword-plugins-tools. I could not find just abiword. I'm wondering if I'm missing a source. Is abiword in the ulb repository or do I need to get it somewhere else? Don Henson

I still can't see it. I'm using Synaptic and I remembered to search up and search next. Nothing. Here's what I have in my sources.list. Do you see any errors in them? Is it possible that Synaptic is missing it for some reason? Here's my sources: rpm ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.0-i386 update security base packman usr-local-bin suser-rbos rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.0-i386 update security base Don Henson

They look fine to me, possibly the file list on mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de hasn't been built correctly, it works if you use the usr-local-bin repository on ftp.gwdg.de -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org

Look to see if by chance you have the same version or a newer version installed. If you do it will not show in the upgradable list. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)

The problem has been resolved. See my earlier posting for details. Thanks for the help, though. Don Henson

Success. However... I switched usr-local-bin to the ftp.gwdg.de respository, updated my package list, and searched for abiword. The same problem occurred, i.e., I could see the tools & plugins but not abiword itself. Again, I used the next button which dutifully highlighted the next tools package but when I got to the end of that list, nothing further was displayed. As I was trying to think of what to try next, I clicked on the next category, "Applications/Publishing" and, lo and behold, there was abiword in all its glory. It appears there is a bug in the Synaptic search function. I'm trying to subscribe to their devel list so I can report the bug. Thanks for your help. Don Henson

The search functionality seems flacky indeed. The synaptic development list is: synaptic-devel@nongnu.org. It is a very active and open list, so don't hesitate to file your bug there! -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

The last version is a little bit strange, yes.. But ctrl+f still works as needed. And it is always possible to put all packages in alfabetical order and scroll to right place. ain

Is ctrl+f guaranteed to find all instances of the search string? Don Henson

why not? and why not to try? search 'abiword' returns here (searching only substring of names) abiword abiword2 abiword-clipart abiword-plugins-impexp abiword-plugins-tools If search is made in package names and descriptions, it returns the list above + enchant. ain

Don, you can use this http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/home.html#contents to determine what's is available in the apt repository. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
