Hey
I'm running into a problem following the instructions on this wiki page

This is the command that is failing and the output

$ ./bin/mysite syncdb --noinput

It would appear that an addition is needed in the README.mkd file in the "Installing on Debian Stable" on the 'sudo aptitude' line to add the 'python-xapian' package to the list.  I suspect the same change is required "System Dependancies" section as well.

Thanks :)
