Here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=431388

it is reported a bug in Lenny's gopchop package. On my system I have the
bugged version already installed. How can I replace it with a new debugged
version?

Excuse the basicness of my question and thanks for any help

Rodolfo

In this case, because the fix is in the same upstream version, I would
grab the new deb from the package.debian.org [1] website and install
with dpkg. In other cases, you would look for backports and possibly
backport the squeeze version yourself.

There are the usual options (install from testing, backport from
testing, ...), but in your case the fixed version is 1.1.7-8, while
stable has 1.1.7-7.

If you don't care for the newer version from testing I would suggest
downloading the binary version 1.1.7-8 from snapshot.debian.org and
install it with 'dpkg -i'. Of course, this assumes there are no
dependency problems (I didn't check).

Regards,
Andrei

I generally don't recommend going outside the repository system, but for this
particular case, it may be easiest to just grab the .deb from the snapshot
service and install with dpkg.

My reason for not going outside the repository system is to continue getting
security updates. If this is a large concern with this package AND you must
have the newer version, I would consider a mixed system.

I did as you suggested: I installed via `dpkg -i' the version 1.1.7-8,
downloaded from snapshot.debian.org, and it seems all right.

Thanks to all who replied
