ugh - I thought that one should deduce the location from the other
path settings instead. IFF apxs really needs to be there before
"real" compilation starts, then I'm out of ideas. Btw, before trying
"find", trying "locate" could be MUCH MUCH faster to be sure.

When using Debian, I'm currently only running potato for some systems
I don't want to/cannot touch, and sid otherwise. But woody is not bad,
too. Nice to hear someone using Debian at all!

The "default" paths were much more ill-designed, therefore I felt
the need to patch that.

He sounded like he wouldn't invest any significant personal work for
this in the near future to include features other people might like
to see. I can dig out what he really said, but a patch could be ok.
OTOH I don't feel able to code this, so I need to get on with what
I already have.

I didn't intend to yell, but you sound like fixing this should be
easy. We'll see.


Best,
