Package: slime
Version: 1:20090217-2
Severity: important

The slime package post-install configuration fails. Full output from
a configuration attempt is pasted below. I've had a brief look at the
scripts, but nothing jumps out as exceptionally wrong, so eyes from
someone with a bit more experience would be appreciated.
