Do you mean Debian/testing (i.e. Etch) or "Debian machines for testing"?

Yep. Same issues I ran into. There are several bugs touching on this issue:

http://bugs.openmicroscopy.org.uk/show_bug.cgi?id=513
http://bugs.openmicroscopy.org.uk/show_bug.cgi?id=515

I also volunteered to do the package dependencies, but for that I need a
box. Perhaps we could talk.

This is bizaare. I currently have:

> ome=# select * from pg_user;
 usename  | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd |  passwd  |
- ----------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+----------+--
 postgres |        1 | t           | t        | t         | ******** |
 josh     |      100 | t           | t        | t         | ******** |
 www-data |      102 | t           | t        | t         | ******** |
 ome      |      101 | t           | t        | t         | ******** |


Again, Debian version? Postgres version?
