I mentioned in my first post but didn't repeat in the followup that I had run apt-listbugs before upgrading, and pinned all the packages that had bugs that sounded important to me. I doubt aptitude would have warned me of this problem. But they're good suggestions anyway. Thanks. -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
