building gkrellm
 

I have a problem with upgrading gkrellm from version 2.3.4 to 2.3.5.
I am running (still) Lucid as I dead upgrading.
However. when I want to install with gdebi installer
gkrellm_2.3.5-3_amd64.deb it comes with all sort of dependency errors.
OK I download the individual files which are missing (i.e. a version too
old) but it kept going on anjd on and every package I install asks for
another younger version of a package I have.
Is there a better way to install an upgrade for Ubuntu Lucid (supported
until 2014) of a standard package when it is not explicitly recompiled
for a still supported version?

how about https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports ? 2.3.5-3 is in
quantal, it shouldnt be a problem to ask for a backport here if the
build dependencies arent to weird (file a request bug, the backports
team will be able to judge)

Oliver,
Thanks for the tip. I'll go that route.
