John very graciously tested an update to the script that deals with the
fact that
(A) libzmq package name changed
(B) apt-get will fail the entire load of installs if even ONE of the
packages is an unknown package.
So, now, rather than doing a single apt-get install ${PACKAGES}, it
iterates over ${PACKAGES} instead, and tolerates a failure.
Curiously, there's a "check" paragraph that does an apt-cache check on
each package its proposing to install, but that nicely passes even
though a subsequent apt-get will fail.
This is one of the reasons that end-users hate Linux. There's too damned
many blooming flowers for us lowly developers to keep track of...
