Did you use aptitude to upgrade your system (ie, "aptitude dist-upgrade")? If not, and you used apt, or synaptic, that will explain why aptitude is giving erratic results. Best to continue with what you had been using. > Any way, any ideas short of the old Windows stand by, > "Format the hard drive and reinstall"? > Many TIA, > Dennis You could try dpkg-reconfigure -a This'll take a while, and it will ask you some questions thoughout. If you want the machine to automatically reconfigure itself, without asking you any questions, you could try dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive -a I don't know if this will help or not, but I doubt it would make things worse.
