Actually, i have just read a debian-kde message about the PNG problem... That
seems to be a KDE specific problem.
That makes me wonder: is it possible that i am imagening things, and that the
upgrade went well, even though my HD was full? Did it actually install files
then, or did it not overwrite, because of the HD being full, and my files are
basically not upgraded, but just the version numbers in the index that dpkg
uses?
