[Xastir] new-being :) - a bit lost...

[Bob Nielsen]

Which version did you install?  The version in woody and sarge is
Xastir 1.0.0, which is quite old (often a problem with Debian).  The
latest version is 1.2.1, although there is a copy of version 1.2.0 in
Debian unstable (sid), which should work much better than 1.0.0.  

I have been using Xastir (updated frequently from CVS) on my Debian
Linux (testing plus some unstable) system for several years with only
occasional (rare) problems.  

If you don't want to use CVS, I would still advise grabbing the latest
CVS snapshot and compiling it yourself (installing in /usr/local 
won't interfere with any of your Debian package files).
