It could be the debian install? I have always had to add that 60179/udp
line to the /etc/services file myself. The others are all there just the
one for the chat server is missing.

a few minutes..

When I installed 83.21 mbtask wouldn't start. Once I added that line
it did start just fine. It may be the debian install script isn't
adding it? You'll be able to see in the logs exactly what happened.
