[Xastir] Xastir 1.5.0 on a Knoppix Debian install help !!

[Dick C. Reichenbach]

Apt-get is just a little confusing,

I don't have my debian system up right now, but there is a difference 
between apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.  I think upgrade is a 
system-wide upgrade that downloads the 360 meg.  It does this 
irregardless of what you type after it (xastir), it just upgrades 
everything.

Basicly you will need to wait until somebody generates a new 1.50 Xastir 
.debian package.  Either that or change over and start using CVS, which 
is what I do.
