I had Potato 2.2r.2 installed on my system and did a upgrade to testing. I changed the sources to testing and did apt-get update. Then did a apt-get dist-upgrade. About 270 programs downloaded and then started to install. During the installation I kept seeing the message Unable to (and I forget this word) <program>. Apt-utils not installed. After those packeages were installed all I could do was use the console, I tried startx and that came back command unknown. I then installed xdm (received the same message) and the dependicies that it required and was up and running. I then installed apt-utils and then another couple of programs and never saw that error message again. The question is this, should I reinstall the basic Potato, install apt-utils then do the dist-upgrade, I can copy all of the downloaded files to another disk and then restore them to the /var/cache/apt/archives, or is there another way to do this. My system does not currently seem broke. I apologize for not remembering the exact wording of the message. Any help and suggestion are appreciated. Thanks Don
