AR$E.
problem gone away now that i also installed these:
Get:1 http://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/main libxkbfile1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
[254kB]
Get:2 http://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/main libxkbfile-dev
6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 [281kB]
Get:3 http://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/main libx11-dev 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
[1394kB]
Get:4 http://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/main libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
[760kB]
and this:
Get:1 http://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/main xfs 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 [410kB]
and also rather foolishly, before checking that the above software was
installed, changed the fixed-width "monospace" font setting from its previous
(default) setting to "freemono". changing to "courier new" which i
think was the previous setting also worked.
so.
lots of waffly information but at least i am back.
previous versions of libx11 were 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 and they now seem to be
up to 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4.
it was likely all triggered by a library being upgraded
somewhere in the firefox install, initially, which hadn't quite
got its dependencies all happy and nice.
oh well :)
