It just makes a better story that way

Aaand, to add a bit more to the story:

I decided to uninstall gizmo-project and see if that perhaps helped the situation. Now I see that gizmo being installed was preventing the rtcom beta installer from completing properly. As soon as it was uninstalled via apt-get, this popped up:


Setting up farsight0.1-2-rtp (0.1.21-0osso1.9) ...

Configuration file `/etc/farsight/gstelements.conf'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** gstelements.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? Y
Installing new version of config file /etc/farsight/gstelements.conf ...
Setting up osso-rtcom-beta (1.3-3) ...
Cache file created successfully.

What a trip. I'm off to test some more!

edit:
Holy crap that works a thousand times better.
Now there's no 20 second delay at the beginning of calls.
But how the heck do I check voicemail?
