ok, I figured it out following the bugreport: when I upgraded, I was manually
required to install monkeysphere. When I manually install, I generally use the
option --no-install-recommends in order to keep bloat out of my system (which
variously suffers anyway).
Turns out package 'agent-transfer' is recommended rather than a
dependency. I realised this after seeing a similar problem with GPG and
finding bug #845720 where dkg highlights the differences between
Recommends and Depends.
I believe 'agent-transfer' should be a Depends and therefore this is a
bug in the debian package.
Best wishes,
