Hi. Sorry, i cant help with your specific problem.
Just didn't want you to feel alone... I don't know whats becoming of Debian these days.Users need to stick together, but the traffic stats for these lists paint a bleak picture.
The attitude these days seems to be that 'if its not in bugzilla, no one cares'
Seems like the Debian project is forgetting that it is a social endeavour, not a (increasingly small) handful of Devs vanity project...
