You will need to build the 0.20-fixes branch to get a compatible proto 
31 frontend. The poor choice to change protocols without changing the 
release rev is causing many problems for those who install packages. 
Personally I would build all machines from the same source manually. It 
has the advantage that you only have to enable the features you need and 
nothing else. Should make for a more reliable machine.
