I actually tried cd /Tools/Log...sheesh.

Why is there no /var/log content for numerous builtin apps and
services...is this different filesys std with alternate?

So the error message produced by install of gstreamer plugin (w/v4l)
libs was nothing horrendous but "cannot overwrite
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideoscale.so which is also in package camera.

Why would this be in itself a problem?
