I made a new Debian VM, and I did have to start with installing Leo 6.1 for everything to work. I also had to repeat the installation because it quit in the middle the first time, claiming that it was unable to open some temporary directory. Then upgrading to 6.3 succeeded.
These wierdnesses presumably have something to do with how Debian sets up the paths and partitions the various pieces of software; who knows? But I have noticed that Leo launches faster on the Debian VM than on Mint or Ubuntu. I think that's strange.
