Some particularly amusing leftovers from the upgrade script were: * existence of a mysterious '/usr/shareFeisty' directory; * the permissions of /dev/null were reset such that only root may write to it * screwed up ttf-uralic package that complained it could not be removed because its fonts had already been de-registered * failure to configure ubuntu-standard package because atd package would not configure; this was because /etc/init.d/atd start failed; but it did not print out why. Strace revealed that it was trying to connect to /dev/log, but the connection was refused. After I manually started sysklogd, I could read the real error message in syslog: apparantly atd did not have permission to access /var/sppol/cron/atjobs. This directory is now owned by user/group bin(!), as was /var/spool/cron... what the hell?
