Re: [orca-list] Latest orca.

["Hwaen Ch'uqi" <hwaenchuqi gmail com>]

Greetings,

I set about to get orca master on my system. When entering the command
`sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca', I got the following message:

Reading package lists... Done
Picking 'orca' as source package instead of 'gnome-orca'

I don't know if that was crucial or not, but I continued with the rest
of the directions. Things seem to be fine. One difference I did notice
was that, upon restarting, I had to call orca not simply by `orca',
but now I must call it with `orca-dm-wrapper'. Have I done anything
amiss?

Thanks so much.
