Not categorically, since I no longer use Sid, but Dapper's not seriously broken. It upgrades fine, but I wouldn't want to try a dist-upgrade this week - most of KDE is not yet converted to use kdelibs4c2a, and will get removed (which may even be only because I installed the KDE 3.5 RC from kubuntu.org - if I'd waited for 3.5 to show up in Dapper, I may have avoided this). I'm sure this will straighten out within days. Same sort of problem with plone, which is waiting for a number of zope updates. I always had the same problems, intermittently, with Sid - the unstable branches will have periods where they're not internally consistent, but they're not usually a big deal as long as you don't just blithely use "dist-upgrade" without checking for consequences. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
