Yes, my shell is /bin/dash (the standard in Debian). But my shell
doesn't process that way because there is NOT /vmlinuz
nor /boot/vmlinuz in my system, but /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39-3. I've
realized this after reading your mail.
This way [ -f /etc/debian_version ] (line 85) never is evaluated and
ARCH remains "unknown", hence SAVI is empty and SAVIBIN set to bin/SaVi.
TESTED. Soft-linking /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39.3 to /boot/vmlinuz, the savi
package just as you provide it (aptitude reinstall savi) works.

Yes, it was only a quick and dirty solution not a real fix. But I
thought it was useful to locate the bug.

SaVi 1.4.5-2
============
I can confirm that the problem related to oogl files IS fixed, but
still depends on the existence of /vmlinuz or /boot/vmlinuz file to
start up. If that file MUST exist in a standard Debian installation
(I'm not sure, think of the multi-kernel systems) I should downgrade
the severity to whislist and retitle de bug report.
