You are right. I guess I homed in on mikepultz.com as it seemed the more
generic (or less Debian).
I have send a posting on mikepultz.com asking if they could make the

My point remains - the ambiguity of the error message. Other errors -
like when I made the file unreadable - where quite clear.
I'm not the first person to be caught out either.
