Well, at least I got a chance to test my "rollback debs" mechanism.

The only mistake I made was when I decide I no longer want any version 
of a deb, I shouldn't just delete it from the cache, I should move it 
just like outdated versions.  (I did that with 3 debs).

And the new gbuffy in the last couple days no longer depends on 
libproplist0, so deborphan told me to get rid of that, and I forget to 
keep it as well.  (4th, final mistake).

I've noticed that sometimes an additional pass through "aptitude 
upgrade" whenever I "reinstall or rollback the world."  The first time 
through, various dependencies are broken // things say they want to be 
deinstalled due to missing dependencies, but the 2nd time through they 
work.  (This time, it was most of the qt3*-dev and gtk2*-dev and 
relateds.)
