if you don't have an earlier Bygfoot version installed, make sure you have an unstable source in your sources.list file (if you don't know what that is, you either shouldn't use debian or read a few howtos before installing ANYTHING); then you just call 'apt-get install bygfoot' and you should get the latest version (which is 1.9.1).

if you do have an earlier version, you do the same as above, but first remove the '.bygfoot-X' dir from your HOME dir, X being some version number (or maybe it's just .bygfoot).

post if you still have trouble.

You can also build it from source. And it's also included in the testing sources.

Here is a short discription how to do it:
add the following lines to sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list)

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing-proposed-updates main 
It would be best if you set an # before all other lines (So you haven't 2 versions(stable and testing) of your programs).

Normally the testing sources are stable enough to use.

PS:You can use 'synaptic' (apt-get install synaptic) to install/remove/upgrade packages.
