(Norbert) my apologies on my last reply. I am grateful for your assistance and also somewhat frustrated. M y apologies if that shows a bit as it's not directed at you & I think we both just want things to work. It's also a bit confusing in that it's stating that dpkg returned 1 (an error) and looks like it's failing when dpkg tries to --configure the package. but hey I'm fallible, human, and know less than I'd like about how debian packaging works so I defer to you. Here's the command, run as root in a single line and the output:
