That means that you are not informing us in a respectful way. Never type,
use copy-and-paste.

You are just not showing enough information for anybody to help you.
Come up with better info.

Put a VERBOSE=on and a LOGFILE=$HOME/pm.log at the very start of
your test-rc (yes: test-rc), and use Sean's sandbox (see his webpage,
find it in his sig) to test your setup.

That almost always means that there ARE errors in your recipes.

You never have to print your entire log. If you are not able to extract
from the logs what would enable us to help you, put the logs and the
recipes
on a temporary webpage and ask on the list if somebody would be so kind as
to look at it. But that is not the right way to do it, even if it is a way
to do it. It's beter to learn in smaller steps, if you can spare the time.
Stop wasting our time by sending in no info at all.

And always reply on the list. Stop leaving long tails of old messages,
everybody has already seen that text.
