Many thanks for the quick help!  May I remind you that you updated the
following:

https://raw.github.com/rocky/emacs-dbgr/master/install-from-git.sh

but the snippet in the section The full instructions is still missing
the test-simple.  Should I open an Issue there as reminder, or this
follow-up is sufficient for you?

It's a pity that to many people, their way of debugging bash/sh script
is still the -v option!  They are missing bashdb big time!

Definitely will check it out.  Last night, I switched to Emacs 24 on
this notebook running Ubuntu 11.04.  So far so good. bashdb runs fine
happily so far.

Best Regards, and have a great weekend,
