<br>
Unfortunately, the version of kst in debian is extremely old, and full of<br>
known bugs, and there is no maintainer for that debian package :-(<br>
<br>
We do have an ubuntu ppa we keep up to date (but you would have to switch to a<br>
recent ubuntu)<br>
<br>
Or you can build from source. Let me know if you would like some help with<br>
that.<br>
