I didn't say that you did, but it's still missing, then.

I'm using both Debian and OpenBSD, maybe other systems as well, and one
of the reasons why I chose bazaar in the first place was that it's
comparably easily deployed across a variety of platforms.

Waiting for platform specific packages to catch up is often not an
option for me, and I also want to keep them in sync if I can.

Thanks, that's what other people suggested, too, but as said, I opted
to remove the old installation (once I figured out where it was) before
I tried that, in order to avoid having stale files messing up the new
system.


Best,
