I hope you forgive me that I divert this issue back to the mailing
list as well.

I am new-old to Debian I did not know about aptitude even though it was
installed on my system. Looks good. Thanks

I did not do anything manually, well I installed Apache and Perl and
probably a dew other things. It might have been one of those or
that Libranet came with this newer version.

you are right, but I was too lazy and did not add this factor into
my possible problems.

It seem it did work.
The only problem is that now I cannot login to my X session.
It logs me out immediately and leaves the following in the
xsession-errors file

/etc/gdm/PreSession//Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/gdm/PreSession//Default: running: sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x 
"/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l :0 gabor
-: xhost: command not found


Now what ?
