I didn't make a note of exactly when this happened, as I was away from home a bit and there were other things to do. I did some backups and tidied up, including a cache clean... I can't really narrow the problem down more than to about 'September', during which a mere 700 or so packages were upgraded. This *is* sid... And being sid, whatever the culprit is will be replaced again at some point, so I'm reluctant to spend days on the problem. I just posted on the offchance that either someone else had seen it, or someone could say instantly 'ah, that must be xxxxx'.
