Re: [orca-list] Orca on Debian Jessie

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Thanks for the package purge and install lists. 
For the record I only tried aptitude to see results after apt-get as aptitude used to offer various 
installation scenarios if you did not care for the 
first offering. I'll have to see if default aptitude behavior has changed, or if this case with orca is just 
an exception to typical behavior.
Have you had trouble running orca fromn git-master on Debian?
