Earlier today, I got brave and did apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade with hope of converting from kde 3.5 to 4.2. Bad timing. After an hour package downloads/installs I realized I'd lost Xorg and when I tried to install I learn broken/missing packages in Sid. Now I'll wait awhile, a little wiser! I did a full backup before starting, so can recover. Hopefully, I will be able to reinstall Xorg after it is again in Sid and all will be OK. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
