[Andreas Tille]

Hi Steve,

thanks for your bug report.  It is always important to know about user
problems with our packages.

I'm afraid I do not really understand your problem.  In your bug report
you are using 'Version: 1.8.0+dfsg-2'.  What exactly do you mean by

  "a clean install of qiime 1.7"
 
While I admit that I do not really understand your problem I'm afraid we
can not really help you with a package for version 1.7 since it is not
planed to package more than one qiime version at the same time and we
really want to scratch the latest version only.  If you have some use
for an older version in parallel you need to make sure that both versions
will not conflict with each other.

So please provide more information what you are actually doing.  If it
turns out that the problem is not affecting the qiime 1.8.0 package I
would consider closing this bug.

Kind regards and please keep us updated with your problems in any case
to enable us making our packages even better

      Andreas.
