Hi I'm new here, I've been using Ubuntu, but the last edition hardy
it's too bugged in my opinion, so I changed to Debian. I installed it
from the netinstall cd. And I must say it so fast and stable.

Well here is the question, I used apt-get install gtk-qt-engine and it
says that the package couldn't be found. Why isn't the package in the
repositories? I want this package because Firefox looks so awful.

My regards

PD: Sorry for my English, I'm from Argentina

It's in Etch and Sid. If you're running Lenny you could pull it in from Sid.

Why it couldn't be found?

Sorry I didn't say that I'm using debian lenny. Is there a problem if I
install a package from another version?

Thank you

Juan,

No need to apologize. Your English is better than many posts that I
have seen from native American English speakers and INFINITELY better
than my Spanish.

Yes and no. We usually advise against it, but with lenny you sometimes
have to. Put a line with

APT:efault-Release "testing";

in /etc/apt/apt.conf. If the file doesn't exist you will have to create
it. "lenny" instead of "testing" won't work (unless the bug has been
fixed) so will have to take care when lenny gets released. Add a source
for sid and try to install that package with

apt-get install -t your-sid-package

If it doesn't pull any or just a few packages it *should* be pretty
safe, but if it breaks you get to keep both pieces

There is also a page somewhere that tells you why (and how long it
should take) the package is not in testing. Maybe you want to wait for a
few days?

Regards,
Andrei

Others showed you how to grab gtk-qt-engine from Sid. However, it's much
less risky to just install a theme into Firefox. Almost any theme will
look better than the default (system theme).

http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gtk-qt-engine.html

It should be available in 7 days but we are in the freezing phase for the next
Debian stable so maybe you'll have to wait more. I think it's just libraries
which are getting frozen now so it should be good.

The full freeze should happen next week, but packages already in
unstable will migrate as usual.

The fact is that I'm using Firefox 3.0 and Thunderbird with the binaries
I downloaded at Mozilla webpage. I installed them in /opt


If you could suggest me a good theme that goes well with kde, I'd
appreciate it very much.


Thank you.
