Wayne. Can I just say that this is a very good way to answer this (or indeed many) question(s). It both gives the person an immediate answer as well as showing how to do it yourself efficiently. Well done.
Better than either a 1) RTFM of 2) install xxxx package answer. This sort of thing really confirms my view that this list is a great support forum. Debian users are very quick to help other users (including new debian users such as myself) to learn its vagaries.
