I can’t really see what could be wrong either.  Base seems to detect that it 
should be installed in System, but then it installs itself in Local anyways, 
despite the fact that Startup always should force the installation to System.  
Perhaps there is an old file (like GNUstep.conf) left over from the debian 
installation that is causing a problem.  Still it should be usable anyway.
