It can happen, even to the best, even from "stable"--an upgrade is done that renders the system less than usable. It just occured with X.
While, if one really knew how, one could bet stuff from backport, compile it (assuming all goes well--remember other things were changed in the upgrade as well!), and have a fix, well, most of us will simply be stuck. This could presumably be done manually if one has backups but apt-get knows how to handle these things in a correct and complete manner. I propose a rollback capability in apt-get. Assuming that this could not be done over the internet at present, it would involve maintaining an archive of replaced items and the dependancies. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
