Hello.

The instructions are correct. What confused you is that I did not specify
exactly what distributions we had amd64 packages for. Sorry about that. I will
update the docs. For your information, we only have amd64 packages for
Debian/Unstable and Ubuntu/Edgy. Both packages are user-contributed as I have
no access to amd64 hardware. So, please read the section that tells you how to
build your own amd64 package by rebuilding a source package. If you encounter
any difficulties see me on irc in #scribus or contact me by email.

Regards,

Alex.
