The thing I don't get was that is the direct command from their buildit 
page. You would think that would lead to such a common failure that it 
would be documented.
And I went back thru the history and found some dependency fail this 
might have cause, and which synaptic won't let me fix, broken held 
packages but won't ident the clashes so they might be fixed. So I blew 
away my .wgetrc and am pulling fresh copies of both.

Thanks for hanging in there till we actually found the problem. Much 
appreciated everybody.
