The thing I don't get was that is the direct command from their buildit page. You would think that would lead to such a common failure that it would be documented. And I went back thru the history and found some dependency fail this might have cause, and which synaptic won't let me fix, broken held packages but won't ident the clashes so they might be fixed. So I blew away my .wgetrc and am pulling fresh copies of both. Thanks for hanging in there till we actually found the problem. Much appreciated everybody.
