I'm trying to recover/renew my access to poplog - since V15.53

Re.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING PRE-LINKED LINUX POPLOG V15.65.
NEW (14 Oct 2015).
my understanding was that.

>Each script first installs a collection of linux library packages
> required for poplog to run, then fetches a new (fetch-and-install)
> script from here,
> which can then be run to download and install poplog.

It's worse than that:.
-/latest-poplog/get-prelinked-ubuntu-poplog
has got `wget` and even `apt-get` !
Which means that poplog depends on the Debian <remote system> ?

My logic and experience is that rather than hoping for a
DoA, DoB ... overall success: rather provide the new user a
progressive set of confirmation-sequences.
Ie. test/confirm <sequence 1>, test/confirm <sequence 1b>,...

This approach relates to the advantage of functional/piping:
for an N-stage program, when the output at stage N-5 is OK,
the user need ONLY be concerned with the input & action of stage N-4.

AFAICS the various scripts <attempting to make V15.65 usable>,
output <traces> to the terminal. This is of little use to the new-user.
Traces should go to logFiles.

My 32bit Debian7's DirTree /usr/local/poplog looks like:--

Let's revive poplog, and not lose its valuable capabilities.
==crg

PS. users of poplog will not be F/B, twitter kiddies who want:
DoA, DoB ...; they need:
<StageN is confirmed by Nx,
StageN+1 is confirmed by (N+1)x ...>
