thanks, made some progress. this user had the same problem https://answers.launchpad.net/swift/+question/201810 i've now apt-get removed swift, and then installed all from git. that worked. except there are 2 failing unit tests, something about differences in expected http return codes.
after this all my config files are now confused with the user. wherever i had set 'swift' as the user, it's now overwritten to 'myuser'. even in those places where the manual had 'swift' hardcoded, not '<your-user-name>'. so i still don't know if <your-user-name> is supposed to be my non-root with-login user, or my no-login user named swift. i'm now trying to change all files to have 'swift' in there in all places.
