Hello all, I've been enjoying the .deb packages on Ubuntu 13.10 for a while now, and they always worked. When I wanted to test the 1.0.0, I got the following error in the logs: [2014-02-17 14:13:32,978][INFO][node] [Power Princess] version[1.0.0], pid[1587], build[a46900e/2014-02-12T16:18:34Z] [2014-02-17 14:13:32,978][INFO][node] [Power Princess] initializing ...
