Got it working.
Turns out, on a Debian Stable box, I also needed to do this:
root@linux apt-get install parrot/testing parrot-minimal/testing
because the Stable versions were already installed, but (apparently)
weren't new enough.
Maybe change/update the Depends: ?
In any event, I can now do:
root@linux perl6
say Hello, world!
Hello, world!
Thanks/best,

Severity: normal
It is my understanding from the documentation that simply typing
'perl6' on the command line should put me into interactive mode (based
on http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo/).
Instead I get the error message:
PARROT VM: Could not load bytecode
Could not load oplib `io_ops'
So... it looks like something is missing. This was my install (note
that this machine is running stable, not testing, so perhaps that is
part of the problem..?):
root@linux apt-get install rakudo parrot-devel/testing
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Selected version '3.6.0-1' (Debian:testing [amd64]) for 'parrot-devel'
The following extra packages will be installed:
libparrot-dev libparrot2.0.0 libparrot3.6.0 parrot parrot-devel
parrot-minimal
Suggested packages:
parrot-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libparrot-dev libparrot2.0.0 libparrot3.6.0 parrot parrot-devel
parrot-minimal rakudo
all of which went perfectly smoothly.
Thanks/best
