+    <para>On occasion you may run into a situation in the book when a package
+    will not build or work properly. Though the Editors attempt to ensure

+    <para>If you discover that a package will not build or work properly, you
+    should see if there is a more current version of the package. Typically
+    this means you go to the maintainer's web site and download the most current
+    tarball and attempt to build the package. If you cannot determine the
+    maintainer's web site by looking at the download URLs, use Google and query
+    the package's name. For example, in the Google search bar type:
+    'package_name download' (omit the quotes) or something similar. Sometimes
+    typing: 'package_name home page' will result in you finding the
+    maintainer's web site.</para>
