Re bug reporting, I'm exhausting all possibilities first before putting down what's not working to a bug because with me, it usually isn't. I've found a few in my time, but am always hesitant to report something as such in case I'm the one having done something wrong. However, this one's apparently a valid Debian bug, so after I get it solved, I will put it in. On Thu, 31 Dec 2015 08:10:41 -0500, you wrote: >Oh that's bizarre.
