Bug#653240: Fixed: rakudo: 'perl6' command with no arguments results in "PARROT VM: Could not load bytecode Could not load oplib `io_ops'"

[Steve Lane]

Got it working.

Turns out, on a Debian Stable box, I also needed to do this:

root at linux> apt-get install parrot/testing parrot-minimal/testing

because the Stable versions were already installed, but (apparently)
weren't new enough.

Maybe change/update the Depends: ?

In any event, I can now do:

root at linux> perl6
> say "Hello, world!"
Hello, world!

Thanks/best,
