Re: problems with lzma

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hi Stefan,

I highly suggest you to don't use the 2.0.0.12 version.  It contains 
some security bugs that are fixed by newer versions.
You can use the 3.0 package that I have uploaded recently, to install it 
you have only to extract all files and copy somewhere, for example in 
/usr/local.  After to execute IceCat you will need to use the `icecat' 
script present in the root of the tarball.
In future a Debian package compatible with gNewSense will be distributed 
too.  If somebody is interested to create packages for other packaging 
systems he/she is welcome.

Regards,
Giuseppe
