Of course when distros package applications they are aware of possible 
problems, and do everything possible to avoid them.  Frustrating as it is, 
that's often the reason we can't get the latest version on our installed 
systems.

When people keep their cool and investigate, giving as clear information as 
they can, it is no hardship to try to help.  I'm just glad you got your 
solution.  And, may I say, glad also that you took the trouble to explain your 
resolution.  It might save a lot of time for someone reading the archives 
later.
