Looks like nms formmail was packaged for sarge but not for etch.

Provided that you're willing to resolve the dependencies by hand, you should be able to download a sarge package and install it on etch.

Download packages from here.

Install them with dpkg -i $filename. Any dependencies aside from the various bits of nms-cgi can be installed using apt-get as usual.

And as an aside, whenever you meet one of the Debian Cabal, smash him over the head with a heavy blunt implement while screaming USE VERSION NUMBERS INSTEAD OF CUTESY NAMES YOU CRETIN. Because unless you spend far too much time playing with your OS (as opposed to using it) you have no idea what the current version is called, and whether it comes before FluffyBunny or after IckleBabyLamb.

    You know as well as I, that Debian releases have code names and version numbers just like other operating systems. I will admit that people tend to use the names more than the numbers but the same could also be said of ubuntu and Mac. Which OS X "cat" are you currently running?

    Sarge = 3.1, Etch = 4.0 and Lenny will be 5.0. Indeed the code name is mostly used before the release (before a number has been allocated), once released the release number is used in official documents and the code name in quotes or parentheses if at all.

      Yes, I know that they use cutesy names and version numbers, but they try really hard to keep the version numbers hidden.

      I'm running 10.4, hope that helps :-)
