The AOLserver packages on Debian don't have everything you need to run OpenACS.

I modified those packages to have the 3.3ad13 version, plus everything one needs to run OpenACS. They are available at 'deb http://www.brasileiro.net/roberto/debian as33/' (add the line to your /etc/apt/sources.list).

To get this version, instead of the version in the Debian repositories, you have to do (after an 'apt-get update'):

apt-get install aolserver=3.3ad13-1 aolserver-xml=3.3ad13-1 aolserver-postgres=3.3ad13-1

(the -openssl, -dev and -doc packages are also available)

You'll have to fiddle a bit with the generated config file, but that's about it. I haven't done Debian-quality testing on these packages yet, but I have them running on two machines. Let me know if you find any problems.

I understand the AOLserver packages have a new maintainer so I will get in contact with him about including OpenACS-needed modules.

I'm guessing that Filename directive in Packages.gz is pointing wrongly (i.e. leading ./ should not be there). Anyway, I've manually wget'ed all of the .debs and will see if this way things gonna work.

Thanks for the help any way. It would be nice to see OpenACS changes merged into Debian package repository -- along with a more recent OpenACS itself (you know that they have (had?) a 3.2.5 there?).
