Re: [orca-list] Installing Orca fails on Debian Lenny

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel shellworld net>]

aptitude install gnome-orca -r <enter> please.
Do additional packages install?  I forgot try dselect update <enter> 
first before that aptitude command to prepare your system to use 
aptitude.  If more packages install, please try the orca setup again.
