hmm. if you have "apt-setup" available, that might reset
your sources.list, if that's the problem. but you may be
further up the creek than that. (out of my league, if so.)
i wouldn't expect slrn to affect apt -- gnome-helix is
an X window environment, so i wouldn't expect much interference
there, either. did anything interrupt power while installing?
or maybe a power loss last week might scramble one bit that
wouldn't leave any fingerprints until now?
