Thanks for the reply.  But, as you say, "its waiting for inclusion on next 
release" so it's broken in this release.

More or less what I've done -- but it would not be rocket science to edit 
install_misc/ubuntu.packages to avoid a certain amount of grief (and before 
anyone asks "well why don't you do it?" I will as soon as I'm certain that 
my experience is reproducible and bullet-proof. It may involve looking at 
the upstream .pl file to see how the list is invoked.)

I'm only trying a test install on relatively BIG server (64-bit, 6 core 
Intel i7-980X, solid state raided drives, 16Gb ram), mileage varies...

When, where, how?  I had to 'sudo apt-get purge .*:i386' for about 50 
dependencies in the pull in koha-3.08.04.tar.gz

That was 3.8.3, now trashed, but it never worked -- I'll try it on a 3.8.4 
install as soon as I'm away from this machine.

Yes.
