Hi,

I don't know who added these instructions to the wiki but it wasn't me, and this is certainly not the preferred way to use emacs-snapshot. You're using i386 which is a supported architecture, you don't need to build the package yourself. Just run `apt-get install emacs-snapshot' and everything should be fine.

Cheers,

Uh oh, thanks a lot, now it works...

Note that you cannot use this method in Ubuntu, for Ubuntu's Aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers...
