Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee-by-default in Ubuntu talk - happening now

[Mo <ferahgo de gmail com>]

Dear Rick,

You use Jaunty, right? There, the package's name is
banshee. But you also have to enable (i.e. tick) "source code" and
apt-get update in package sources if you haven't done so yet.

Then:

sudo apt-get build-dep banshee
