@subsection Building an updated pspp package
If you wish to use a newer pspp version than the one provided with

-from the package source of a later GNU/Linux distribution release. The latest

pspp package for Debian is in sid (unstable). It is not advisable to
take a binary package from a later distribution because the interface to
the required libraries may have changed. Therefore you take the package
