I had originally attempted to add "Dir::Base" to /srv/dak/dak.conf by
appending it (echo Dir::Base >> dak.conf) to the bottom of the file
without any luck and finally wised up with the following:
sed -i '1 i\Dir::Base' /srv/dak/dak.conf
Now "~dak/bin/dak update-db" completes successfully.
I still get an error condition when using "~dak/bin/dak init-dirs" to
create the initial /srv/dak tree:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The program flow on the traceback is as follows:

def create_directories():

session = DBConn().session()

for entry in config.subtree(tree).list():
entry = entry.lower()
config_name = "%s::%s" % (tree, entry)

do_dir(target, config_name)
File "/opt/dak/dak/init_dirs.py", line 54, in do_dir:
def do_dir(target, config_name):

Works like mkdir, except that any intermediate path segment (not
just the rightmost) will be created if it does not exist. This is
recursive.
"""
head, tail = path.split(name)
if not tail:
head, tail = path.split(head)
if head and tail and not path.exists(head):
try:
makedirs(head, mode)
except OSError, e:
# be happy if someone already created the path
if e.errno != errno.EEXIST:

exists
return

There is nothing in this program flow that stands out as illogical
syntax errors, but I am not fluent enough in Python to know how to fix
this.
I have read "Beginning Python from Novice to Professional" from Apress,
but I have not yet had a chance to work on a project to bring myself up
to speed on this language. The clacks-project.org is something I would
like to be a part of and perhaps will help me master this language.
Python is like a snake - just too difficult for me to ./configure and
make - it slithers away before Debian has a chance to play. :)
