G'Day !
Yeah I tried to Upgrade my desktop with dselect instead of apt-get and dpkg ....
And I trashed my system :-( I finally got it working enough to boot so I can
recover my files, but unless someone can show me a better way, I will need to
reinstall from scratch then do a restore from backup :-(
cheers,
