All I report are serious! There are plenty of others which I hold
off reporting till the serious ones are fixed. For example, the
last thing the installer should do is run makewhatis and updatedb,
otherwise a half-dozen useful/essential commands do not work.
Reported during 7.0 beta. Still not done for the 7.1 beta. It's
only a two liner before exiting, surely?

Wrong! The present Cooker is the 7.1 beta, and the Cooker mailing
list is the bug reporting medium, both as declared by Gael Duval and
explained on the web page. That it is the beta is confirmed by the
contents of the VERSION file in the beta root directory.
