I was in a position to help, so I did. I have not so far heard back
from Steve whether he has found a solution.

I agree, people should not expect help on 3rd party applications,
frankendebians, or other situations that run against the standard
advice around here. I think you did a good job of explaining this to
Steve.

Once in a while, someone asks for help in such a situation, and someone
else is in a position to give it. But that's the exception. So I have
no problem with someone asking. I do take exception to some twatwaffle
getting irate because no-one answered his badly framed and off-topic
query.

Besides, we're all volunteers here, something some people can't seem to
get wedged between their ears.
