[...] I did not see anything critical in that list but it seems that you had some stuff installed from debian-multimedia which is meanwhile available in normal Debian. That was probably what screwed up the dist-upgrade to Etch. (I think that this mentioned explicitly in the release notes, BTW.) As I said in my other mail: Keep this list around and, once you have cleaned up your system, you can try to install all these packages (minus the "lib..." ones) from the normal Debian repositories. After that is all in place you can activate debian-multimedia again in your sources.list and install those packages which are still not officially part of Debian. [...] > My sources.list points to 'stable'. It is advisable to change that to "etch". If you keep "stable" then you might get some unpleasant surprises once Lenny is released. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
