In case there's any confusion over the results of the above, I'm not
recommending you _get_ the package from anywhere in particular.  I'm
showing you how to find the package a particular tool of interest is in.

It's possible.  You'd have to look at your 'setup.log.full' to see if there
were any clear problems with the install.
