Okay, there follows the script that I currently use to build darcs  
(which I do rather often, since I always want the latest and greatest  
darcs on various boxes owned by me or my wife or allmydata.com).  I  
just ran it on a fresh Ubuntu Hardy server and the resulting darcs  
executable emitted "2.0.2 (release)" in response to --version.

Hm.  In other words, it *worked*.  Now I don't know why it didn't  
work on the other machine earlier.  I will investigate next time I am  
rebuilding darcs.
