No dumb questions ever. After 23 years around Debian, I still find the best and quickest way to find an error is to stare at it for three days, ask someone else to look at it - and they find it in 30 seconds. Smart wisecrack answers / demeaning someone else's efforts (always provided they show they've done something) - that's another thing. It's very worthwhile to think we have all sorts of people with all sorts of experience and expertise lurking here and that somebody will know the answer / direct you to resources to find it / have an "Aha!" moment and sort out their own puzzle when they see you raise it. All best, as ever, Andy Cater
