Re: [orca-list] Update orca

["John J. Boyer" <john boyer abilitiessoft org>]

Hello,

I have Debian Bullseye. Your update instructions are for Ubuntu, but they lok pretty generic, so I tried 
them. I got an error in config.log 
How do i check if dependencies are up t o date? I used python3.8.

Thanks,
John
