Thanks Florian, I went back to a /var/apt/archives backup to get this and do this:- # dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libcvsservice0_4%3a3.5.2-1+b2_i386.deb (Reading database ... 73882 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace libcvsservice0 4:3.5.2-1+b2 (using .../libcvsservice0_4%3a3.5.2-1+b2_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libcvsservice0 ... Setting up libcvsservice0 (3.5.2-1+b2) ... But it doesn't appear to be only that package. Because nothing altered, The root password isn't recognised. I will try downgrading the others that were in the thread as well but later and see what happens.
