Just a special side note: When you use unstable you are expected to

Hi Rhonda,
We each do what we can. I'm not a developer and much of the stuff
developers do is greek to me -- though I'm willing to learn. The
pointers to the build logs will be helpful in that; thank you for them!
My contribution to the process, such as it is, is that I happen to
have access to a lot of old Mac PowerPC hardware that still runs well,
but nobody wants or needs it for production applications. I use it in
my spare time to test installation of Debian software (stable, testing
and unstable) and report what I find. As I gain experience I try to
give useful advice to people who are newer in it than I, and take
advice from those who are more knowledgeable in the process than I.
That's how we learn.
Again, thanks for your help.
Rick
