You should provide us at least with the most basic infos. What version of what distro do you use.

Search for the package you want.
http://packages.debian.org/search?ke...ll&section=all

Then download it and use either dpkg or gdebi to install it.

By latest Debian do you mean Stable/Lenny or Testing/Squeeze?

lenny.
This isn't helping ! there's loads of dtc packages and none of them say they are version 1.1 which is what I'm looking for.
Everything's so hard in linux, makes me want to give in..
