Hi folks,

I did a "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" yesterday to the latest
woody tree.  IIRC, it only upgrade three libs: libmng, libqt2.2, and
liblcms according to /var/cache/apt/archives.

Well, today I log into my machine to realize that the desktop background
of KDE2 is broken.  When I start kdesktop from the command line, I get:

$ kdesktop
kdesktop: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/kdesktop.so:
undefined
symbol: noxim

I was wondering whether this is fixed in unstable, but I am reluctant to
upgrade libqt2.2, because it will upgrade libc and libc-dev in the
process, and I don't want to make things worse.

Is there any known instability in libc, libc-dev in sid, or is it (more
or less) safe to upgrade.

BTW, is there a way to down-grade via apt?

Besides, only kdesktop is broken (desktop background and screensaving)
the rest is working without problems, so this isn't really an issue.  I
guess, it will be fixed within the next 10 days anyway.

TIA,
Viktor
