Comment 20 for bug 990774

Glad the workaround I found is working for others. A few thoughts...

1. It is a good idea to work in a new directory...

     mkdir /tmp/avant-new
     cd /tmp/avant-new

when recompiling...

     apt-get build-dep avant-window-navigator
     apt-get -b source avant-window-navigator
     sudo dpkg -i *.deb

2. If the 'apt-get' commands don't work (eg, can't find the packages), the source repositories are probably missing from /etc/apt/sources.list ... a google search for "deb-src" might help.
