But that wasn't the problem. That turned out to be a diversion. The
real problem (as you'll see in the list) was that gnome-core suddenly
demanded esd (or at least esd.m4) to be present or aclocal would fail.

Perhaps. But when it appears that there is an elite on the list that just
ignores people with problems, it doesn't make for good relations,
either. As it turned out, once I did get just a wee bit of help, I had 
enough info to diagnose the problem -- which was a real problem, not
one I had created.

As I'd said, I'd done just that and it hadn't helped.

I just checked out pharmacy. Like it. Is there any chance you can
enable it to read .cvspass for passwords?
