Thanks!  Took a couple weeks but I got around to building/installing
on my Debian system.  Note this is not from tarballs, it's from CVS
updated to 2005-11-09.  Things seem fine so far.

codaconfedit is trashing my cacheblocks statement in venus.conf.  It
reduces them from 100000 to 10000.  This has been happening for a
couple of releases.  It's easy to work around and I thought I was
going to debug it, but it's time to admit that's not gonna happen this
time either.  Sorry!

Also, the console messages say conflicting things about this:

Note that at the top it says it's using the RVM values, but after the
VDB scan it says "CacheBlocks changing".

There were a couple weirdnesses in the build.  They seem to be debian
issues, and may be local to my machine.  I used the following script to build:

cd /playpen/Projects/Coda
for i in lwp rpc2 rvm coda; do
 pushd $i
 debian/rules clean
 ./bootstrap.sh
 ./configure
 debian/rules binary
 popd
 dpkg -i --force-overwrite *$i*
done >World.log

and got these warnings/errors:

[ ... ]
dh_shlibdeps
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: could not find any packages for /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (libncurses.so.5)
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared library libncurses (soname 5, path /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5, dependency field Depends)

where the last warning was repeated about a dozen times.  I do have
libncurses5 and libncurses5-dev (version 5.5-1) installed.
