Hi everyone - after running Etch for about 1 month or so after Etch went stable (and having prior running the then-testing branch (etch) for quite sometime, I decided to update my system to Lenny, after fixing my bandwidth situation after the move last month.
The initial upgrade went well (some 400 megabytes worth of updates) but for about a week now I am plagued with issues that keep me from doing a full dist-upgrade. from aptitude run about a few minutes ago: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ sudo aptitude upgrade Reading package lists...

So it's not all that necessary, although if digikam needs libgphoto as a back end, then updating these packages are desirable.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
