Check bug reports against packages, quite often there is an answer in a bug followup. If you just reinstall you will just be reinstalling the bug. Check appropriate ML archives. I don't even run gnome or sid but I know there are a couple of transitions in sid relating to gnome and C++. I would guess that upgrading sid blindly at this stage is asking for trouble? -- Chris. ====== Reproduction if desired may be handled locally. -- rfc3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
