First off, subscribe yourself to debian-devel-announce, and possibly to debian-devel. This problem has already been mentioned in both of these places; you should definitely be following debian-devel-announce if you're running unstable to keep up on major changes/problems/issues that happen there. That having been said, umm, there's a problem. You need to get some version of libpam-modules that's not 0.72-26; either 0.72-25 (from testing) or 0.72-27 (from incoming) should work. You need some way of becoming root (which could be problematic if you're not logged in as root already; if nothing else, booting with 'init=/bin/sh' will work). Install the unborken packages, and hopefully things will be better. (And if you're uncomfortable with this sort of breakage, which does happen sometimes out on the bleeding edge, also consider the Debian 'testing' distribution, which is best described as "a couple of weeks behind unstable". Admittedly, testing has its own problems, but they seem to generally be much more along the lines of "half the distribution vanished from the Debian archives, wait a couple of days" and much less along the lines of "Perl 5.6 ate my cat".) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
