A number of distros have dropped xmms.
As far as I vaguely remember, the reason is that it still uses gtk1, and
there were certain problems preventing it from being upgraded to gtk2.

Audacious is one of its successors, you could use that one instead.

However, Debian is one of the distros still carrying xmms.

With 'still' beeing the key word here. It is only available in stable and
was already removed from testing.


I see it under unstable also:

Package: xmms (1:1.2.10+20070601-1 and others) [debports]

What's 'debports'?

That's what I was going to ask *you*! Here is my apt-cache policy:

,----[ apt-cache policy xmms ]
| xmms:
| Installed: (none)
| Candidate: 1:1.2.10+20061101-1etch1
| Version table:
| 1:1.2.10+20061101-1etch1 0
| 500 http://ftp.at.debian.org etch/main Packages
`----

How is yours?

Regards,
Andrei
