Sounds like the macro support is missing from the RT build. Two possibilities:

* Is there a library file (wherever they go on Sarge) named like 
libkbasert_plugin_extra.so installed. If not then the entire macro support 
has not been included in the runtime

* There is a file in libs/extra called extra.mac. At a guess, this might not 
be installed. It would need to be in $PREFIX/usr/shares/apps/rekallrt/dict 
(where $PREFIX is /usr or /opt/kde ow whatever).

I'd guess the former rather than the latter ....

SInce the full version works, you should be able to find 
libkbase_plugin_extra.so (the full version of the library containing the 
macro support) and  $PREFIX/usr/shares/apps/rekall/dict/extra.mac
