Thanks for your report.

There is nothing relevant in our log file regarding brutalchess. The error "brutalchess is already installed and configured" was the consequence of the previous freeze. It's rather harmless and you've fixed it with synaptic. Shall we close this report ?

thanks for the reply. yes, close the report; i thought it wasn't really
worth reporting since it resolved itself in the end.

regards,
