+Installing Dependencies from Packages
+-------------------------------------
+
 On a modern, package-based operating system you can install all of the
 dependencies with a simple simple command line. For example:
 
   For Debian and similar:
 
-        sudo apt-get install libxapian-dev libgmime-2.4-dev libtalloc-dev
+        sudo apt-get install libxapian-dev libgmime-2.6-dev libtalloc-dev python-sphinx
 
   For Fedora and similar:
 
-	sudo yum install xapian-core-devel gmime-devel libtalloc-devel
+	sudo yum install xapian-core-devel gmime-devel libtalloc-devel python-sphinx
 
 On other systems, a similar command can be used, but the details of
 the package names may be different.
