Hi Pirate,

I just tried installing the latest versions from scratch and they
seem to work, yay!  (I haven't been able to actually test it live, as
I have another instance of diaspora running, but I was able to
install it, configure it and then run it, which is further than I got
last time.

diaspora-common still needs the dbconfig-common purge code in the
prerm/postrm files.  Also, purging diaspora-installer should probably
do an rm -rf /usr/share/diaspora, but I'm not certain about this.

Best wishes,

   Julian
