password incorrectly (I havent :) ). I can login as a normal user on

I finally had the need to add some users to my brand new 1.3.0 server.

Thank you, Christian. Yes, man-db's unspecified dependency on perl
appears to be the problem. And so it seems, as BG Lim pointed out
(thank you), that this is a small packaging bug. Thanks, folks.
