I took a fit-PC (http://www.fit-pc.com/new/) with an updated installation of 8.04.1 and upgraded it to 8.10 beta. I got a number of error messages of packages that could not be configured, of which rarian-compat was the first. I then did an update/upgrade from the update manager. I got these error messages:

X works but Gnome is broken: the whole desktop is gone. I conjecture this is related to the failure to configure a lot of gnome related packages. I can SSH into the machine.
