   Well, really the packages need to be updated & put in a proper
repository...    Perhaps add a Husky project at Launchpad, so the
respository there could be used.  

   I added the most recent ones (which I realize aren't really very
recent...) at the new repository I just put online at
http://ftn.rocasa.us/debian, but I'm not sure how much that will help;  so
far I've only added them for Debian v3 (haven't made them available for
the later Debian versions yet), and see also below to where I ran into
problems even with the source packages.

    What kind of errors?   Expcept for build dependancies (debhelper &
texinfo) I didn't have any problems with the packages for huskybse
(huskybase-1.0) & smapi (libsmapi2 & libsmapi-dev).  Did run into a
problem with fidoconf (libfidoconf1, & -dev) though, where it was
searching for a smapi header file it couldn't find where it expected,
cvsdate.h.  'Course, it should have been looking in /usr/include/smapi
(from libsmapi-dev; OTOH, it's not there either...   (libsmapi-dev doesn't
seem to be installing all of the smapi header files...)
