Cannot run Autopsy

apt-get install autopsy
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'

I run apt-get install autopsy and I get-

Then I run the command "autopsy" and get

hello,

what version of backtrack are you on?

when you first run autopsy setup from the b|t menu, you should have been prompted to allocate a directory for your "evidence locker". make a directory in another shell and then give autopsy it's location there on the system.

Autopsy Forensic Browser

ver 2.24

================================================== ==========================
(example) Evidence Locker: /root/evidence
Start Time: Mon Aug 15 22:36:46 2011
Remote Host: localhost
Local Port: 9999

Open an HTML browser on the remote host and paste this URL in it:

http://localhost:9999/autopsy

Keep this process running and use <ctrl-c> to exit

what did you do differently?

I have a similar issue but i deleted my virtual machine and followed those instructions and i managed to get autopsy to work, however if i ever shut down backtrack and boot it up again then autopsy no longer works and i mean that the button has changed from autopsy back to setup autopsy and when you press it nothing happens and also when you navigate to the webpage it timesout.
