this bug is gone, but I've got a new one, this time installing unstable as of 
now.

german to english translation: "can't install selected kernel", alt-f3 shows 
unmet dependencies: initscripts: depends fileutils >=4.0l-8 and 
kernel-image-2.4.25-power-pmac: depnds kernel-modules-2.4.25-powerpc 
(=2.4.25-6)

Since I know now that I rather should use unstable for tracking _those_ bugs 
it's okay for me. testing and unstable are useful for different things!

Yeah, as Joey said. Speaking of the RC bugs, look at Björns page, try the 
above URL.
