Description:

Scribus is currently 1.3.4-1, however, that is a development version which is UNSTABLE and quite buggy. The release announcement for Scribus 1.3.4 was badly formulated which gave users an impression that this was the stable release. The currently recommended stable release is 1.3.3.10svn, or 1.3.3.9 (actually released version).

I believe packages in extra should be stable production versions, which disqualifies 1.3.4.

The 1.3.4 could be moved to unstable for those users who want to use the unstable development release (although 1.3.5 is already well into development) because 1.3.4 does not require qt4.

Here are the 1.3.3.9 sources:

The 1.3.3.10svn is here:

Additional info:

* package version(s)

Scribus 1.3.4-1

* config and/or log files etc.

ADD: I was not aware of this until I spoke to guys on #scribus. They explained that the 1.3.4 release was a big misunderstanding. It is very buggy.

Sorry, I wasn't looking. The SVN snapshot package is a Windows .exe, my bad.

Tobias, thanks for the quick response. I think this bug can be closed now.
