Oops, sorry.  I forgot to hit reply all to reply to this list.

I'm on Debian Sid, and I have no troubles installing the packages.
Squeeze has stable (read: old :P) packages, and so your best bet would
be to upgrade to unstable (or maybe testing soon, but not yet: they are
pushing lots of packages there now).

Debian Stable may not be so great for development, even though it was
released less than 24 hours ago.

I can look through exactly the packages that you are having trouble with
and give the version numbers I have, but I am not sure if it is very
wise for you to install them.  In my experience, stable doesn't always
play well with sid/experimental packages.  It's hit-or-miss (or
stop-your-system-from-working).

I can email you offlist with the versions I have.

Cheers,
Patrick
