If you don't, you won't get the expected results. This bug is invalid (and shouldn't be reported as general either). Please use real support resources before posting bug reports with support questions. Regards, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
