I would stay away from installing tarballs! Really!
If you can not wait until the deb of a new version is ready you
can also try to build your own private debs. It is actually not
that hard. Basically four steps:
1. Rename the tarball to gnumed-client_<version>.orig.tar.gz
(mind the underscore before the version!) and unpack the
tarball
2. Copy the debian directory into the unpacked source directory.
(you can obtain the current debian directory either by
'apt-get source gnumed-client' or from SVN)
3. Edit debian/changelog to reflect the new version and
say 'debuild'
4. Install the resulting packages.
This might even be an option to backport a new gnumed version
to a stable system if you fear the dependencies from testing.
Kind regards
Andreas.
