Dave, Could you please explain, how does it clear itself up in "a day or two"? I have not worked with Debian, only RedHat Packages.... Is this a system function or is it considered 'self resolving' or is it a matter of the person who wrote being a user at a workstation, and relying on the System Administration..? On these points I am not clear and would like to know as I have had trouble with trying out "Storm, rain release". Any answer on this would be to my edification, please reply.
