    i used to have gaim on my system, and i need it back for work -- but i
    need version 0.70 out of unstable, the one that supports the yahoo
    protocol.

    on a different (but similar) debian system, a month ago or so, i was
    able to simply

    apt-get install gaim -t unstable

    and voilŕ, magic, it worked.

    for whatever reason (that's for a different question), i can't grab
    things off unstable with this system -- but i can from testing. i'm
    now trying to get version 0.64 from testing.

    on this one, everything downloads, unpacks, and installs fine, but
    when trying to run it, i get the following errors:

    orange:~> gaim
    Pango:/usr/local/etc/pango/pangorc: Error opening config file: Permission denied

    ** (gaim:13804): WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules
    were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means
    there was an error in the creation of:
      '/usr/local/etc/pango/pango.modules'
    You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.

    ** (gaim:13804): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "Sans 10" falling back to "Sans 10"

    ** (gaim:13804): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "Sans 10" falling back to "Sans 10"

    ** (gaim:13804): WARNING **: All font failbacks failed!!!!

    the file /usr/local/etc/pango/pangorc doesn't exist.

    running pango-querymodules, like it suggests, generates the exact same
    file that's currently in /usr/local/etc/pango/pango.modules.

    i've never had install problems like this before ... and redownloading
    libraries and things by themselves doesn't seem to fix it.

    any ideas?

    thanks,
