I tried upgrading my system yesterday too. Most packages upgraded
without much of a problem. However it looks to me like i have the
same problem you are talking about. Acroread works fine but i can't
upgrade the xserver-xfree86 package(from testing)
. I've attached the detailed error
message below. Does anyone know why this is happening?
