Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian; Slackware's only relation to either is that
they are both GNU/Linux distributions.

I would think if he was missing libraries, there would have been an error
while building the BBS.

The issue I was having occurred with an othernet nodelist, but I noted that
overriding the node's flags also results in the (null) url field.

I am thinking the issue is the code in nodelist.c starting at line 921 which
builds the connection URL. I need to trace it through processing a few
nodelist entries to figure out where the problem is starting.
