[FX: Much swearing having missed something in the ./configure output and
trashed / ]
OK - I know I should have checked but I did a configure with the following
./configure --enable-layout=Debian --with-rt-group=root -with-web-user=www-data --with-web-group=www-data --with-libs-group=root
Which as I’d not added a section to config.layout (copied from
and older 3.6.0 and 3.4.x dpkg I had) threw up a
checking for perl… /usr/bin/perl
./config.pld: line 20: syntax error: unexpected end of file
checking for chosen layout… Debian
checking if database name is valid… yes
configure: creating ./config.status
rather than the expected
checking for chosen layout… Debian
checking if database name is valid… yes
configure: creating ./config.status
As it didn’t raise an error that Debian wasn’t a valid layout, it was only
during the make upgrade that it copied all the files into / and /NONE/
Please can someone throw in a sanity check that if you use --enable-layout a valid layout exists 
Many thanks
one foolish Andrew
