This doesn't sound like the /usr/share/doc/ledgersmb/README.Debian that shipped with the 1.2.15 .deb release > BTW, while testing the build, it asked me install two additional > modules. So I guess this prerequisites file was missing them. Do you happen to remember which these were so we can work toward getting them included for the .deb? > 4. Then I started to follow the Manual Install in the INSTALL file. OK, so I'm thinking maybe you weren't using /usr/share/doc/ledgersmb/README.Debian and that's why you started using the regular INSTALL file. Typically in a Debian package we wouldn't even have included INSTALL (in fact, it creates a packaging warning which I had to override), but I made the choice to keep it because it had a nice troubleshooting FAQ in it (devs - can we move troubleshooting FAQ to another file so we can stop including INSTALL in our .deb? :)). The /usr/share/doc/ledgersmb/README.Debian is what we expect users to use for installation on Debian/Ubuntu, many of the issues you go on to explain in this installation report are addressed there.
