Gene, do *NOT* mix the zmanda debian packages and the official debian
packages. Even after doing "apt purge". You will get yourself into a
dependency hell that Steve Ballmer would admire.

If you are accustomed to using one, and insist on playing with another,
use one or more freshly minted virtual machines. Even doing that I ran
into some of the same surprises and problems you are hitting.

of brute force."
