Thanks for the advice.  If I add a repository to the list, how does that
work?  (I figured out how to do this in Synaptic, but don't know what
will happen if I do.)  Does it automatically search the new repository
site last?  Or can I specify which one to look in first for a given
search?  I'd probably have to do the latter, since imlib on ubuntu isn't
missing, it's just broken.  Another question - how would I know which
Debian repository was compatible with Ubuntu 5.04??
