thanks Tibold,

I will have a look at your suggestions.
It baffles me though that I had it installed just fine a few days ago 
with exactly those commands, then it installed partially, now it's gone 
completely.
I would love to get in touch with the owners of the PPA to investigate, 
but I can't get an email without creating an account on launchpad.net

They wouldn't be lurking around here, would they (Didier, you in here)??? ;)

Cheers,
frank
