Hi,

I have just cvsed and rebuilt the whole system.  No error occurs.  And
my system is Debian sid.  So, I think the problem you encountered
might due to some missing or mismatched packages on your debian box.
Perhaps, the install.log in /usr/local/plan9/ would be helpful to
discover what's wrong during installation.
