The programs will not run. The problem seems to be that kernel module

I wouldn't touch it myself, but other users (family) of my computer do. My

Hotmail does not like Iceweasel. If you send a message, using Lenny or Squeeze,
the whole body is empty. The text you entered is missing. You can check this by
looking in your "Sent" folder.

seems to be that the package xserver-xorg-core will not install. dpkg is unable
