Ok, so I saw the new email to this bug and downloaded the upstream 0.9.2 version and tried that.
It still fails in cpu detection, this time the error message _is_ printed and it says: Error : cannot open '/home/bjb/.pmk/pmkcpu.dat' : No such file or directory. Error : failure in cpu detection. Error : child failed (status 256) cheerio, bjb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
