Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Having timidity-daemon installed.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
tried running the start-up script manually, resulted in no timidity
daemon running:
