Thanks, for your help.

I haven't tried everything you proposed, but I'm just installing SID
again ;) and will try it right away.

Good article, just sad one can't reply to it :(

Instead of grabbing the packages for gettext v0.10.40-8 as files, you
can use apt-get to just install packages with a certain version:

[From the APT manual on the net:]

$ apt-get install gettext=0.10.40-8 gettext-base=0.10.40-8

Will do it, too. This could save your readers some time ;) ;)

Regards,
Mikael
