Jon:
Please discontinue working on this. I wasn't running out of disk space;
I don't know what was going on but I'm guessing that there was something
wrong with the vps's 10.04 template. In any case, I've now replaced it
with 12.04 and your ppa is working beautifully. Thank you, and I'm sorry
to have bothered you with this.
Alan.
