It's fine to ask for support regarding testing or unstable, but the OP should know the risks, and if there is a transition going on then the OP should be aware of this. If the OP shows that they have done as much as they can diagnosing the problem, then sure ask here and someone may have some helpful advice. But I agree, the majority of problems can be fixed via a google or a nosy through the bug reports, quite often there is a work around explained in the bug report, and can be applied until an updated package gets uploaded and eventually end up in the repositories. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X
