Florian, sorry for the long delay. But aptitude did it to me again. Hit the "g" key before I was ready and there is no panic stop in aptitude. It took took out those 682 files I wanted and I've been trying to get them back and aptitude is not cooperating. It could definately use a more friendly interface with a last chance to quit before it removes everything. My comment below:

Finally succeeded with difficulty by adding back 3 packages that wouldn't remove because of some bug in .prerm or dpkg status 1 error(imapproxy thttpd and netkit-inetd). A dist-upgrade did work after all this but I didn't install because of all the critical bug issues in kde and xorg. Guess this is just sid and will be corrected shortly. One critical issue I have is that aptitude interactive removed linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 and now I have only 2.6.8 and 2.6.16 kernels in the cache. Where are kernels 2.6.12 through 2.6.15? Otherwise all issues solved except for the kde and xorg bugs. > -- > Regards, > Florian > Leonard Chatagnier [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
