Thanks for the reply -- I'm convinced that everyone is working towards the 
same goal.  But, despite never having had this problem on 3.6.1, 4, 6, 7, I 
just can't get beyond it on 3.8.3 and 4.  It *must* be my mistake (maybe a 
totally dumb one), but after four installs I'm back to a non-functional zebra.

Coming back to my original issue -- 3.8.4 (after another full install) is 
showing the same error as 3.8.3 -- idzebra-2.0 is fully [??? an 'apt-get 
idzebra-2.0' comes up with "latest version" and no missing dependencies 
???] installed but there's no daemon! So I must have missed something in 
the repositories/dependences.

paul at server:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon start
Starting Zebra Server
/etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon: line 73: daemon: command not found

I am now convinced that somehow, somewhere, zebra is *NOT* properly 
installed. So before I go any further and screw something up, here's where 
I'm at as far as Zebra is concerned:

/etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon has the proper symlink:

paul at server:/etc/init.d$ ls -l | grep koha
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   37 Aug 22 19:11 koha-zebra-daemon -> 
/usr/share/koha/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh

and that is the file that has the line 73 that causes the error:

daemon --name=$NAME --errlog=$ERRLOG --stdout=$STDOUT --output=$OUTPUT 
--verbose=1 --respawn --delay=30 $OTHERUSER -- $ZEBRASRV $ZEBRAOPTIONS -f 
$KOHA_CONF

koha-conf.xml has the user as 'koha' with the correct password, and the 
output belongs to 'koha':

paul at server:/var/lock/koha/zebradb$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 koha koha 40 Aug 22 19:48 authorities
drwxr-xr-x 2 koha koha 40 Aug 22 19:48 biblios

I guess that I can get back to things tomorrow and try manually installing:

idzebra-2.0-common
idzebra-2.0-doc
idzebra-2.0-utils
libidzebra-2.0-0
libidzebra-2.0-dev
libidzebra-2.0-mod-alvis
libidzebra-2.0-mod-grs-marc
libidzebra-2.0-mod-grs-regx
libidzebra-2.0-mod-grs-xml
libidzebra-2.0-mod-text
libidzebra-2.0-modules

but I would have thought that idzebra-2.0 contained all the necessary 
dependences, or would have reported anything missing.

Best -- P.
