Installing Version v0.9-5

New Users: The easiest way to install:
if you have Extras-devel/Extras-Testing active go to AppManager->Graphics->Ansel-A and click install.

Previous Users: I now first suggest either AppManager->Uninstall->Ansel-A or


If for some reason you're downloading (wget) the deb directly and are installing with dpkg:
run dpkg -i ansela_0.9-5_all.deb and then apt-get -f install to get the depends.

For some of the alpha testers (blizzard & debernardis) noted that earlier versions from extras-devel, especially the temporary v0.8-1 version have caused problematic installs. I/They suggest the simple purge method above before a reinstall for those users, there were some structural changes, that could cause a conflict.
