Hi Gene,

I'm probably going to regret this - let's see if I can help you
fault-find :)

Questions: 

1. Which version of Debian is this?
Give us the output of /etc/os-release and of uname -a on this machine,
please.

2. Do you actually *have* orcaslicer 2.3.0 installed - or is it left
over from some previous attempt at installing something you later
removed?

3. What does the command

ip a

show on your system? 

4. Do you have docker (or  podman or buldah) on your system?

5. Can you *show* us the output from strace, please - capture a few
lines.

None of us are mind readers - none of us are sat looking over your
shoulder. Without something to go on, every message from you about
problems involves significant guesswork. Share information, please,
about what you are *actually* seeing on screen in front of you and
make it easier for the rest of us. The Sherlock Holmes approach is
fun the first few times, but you're making it hard for us to eliminate
the impossible and work on the problems in hand.

[If this helps, imagine this was a problem at a TV station that someone
you didn't know well was reporting to you over the phone. You'd be asking
questions and noting down the responses to be able to narrow down on what
the issue was. You're expecting all of us to *know* the answers from zero
information given: it's frustrating as anything.]

Thanks, all the best, as ever,
