Re: Sid is/was crazy

Hi Alejandro.

Looks like your ext3 partition has errors and the system remount it in 
readonly mode.
Not every problem get corrected by apt, I mean apt rocks but this is not 
a package problem.
Try to check your partition with fsck (man fsck, man fsck.ext3) maybe 
you need will to execute a livecd ( from man fsck.ext3: "...in  general 
it is not safe to run e2fsck on mounted filesystems...")

Maybe you want to enter some IRC Channel to get some quickly and in 
spanish answers.

Cheers
