Agree! One should rather enjoy occasional break down and recovery if one
want sid, I guess.
My suggestion is to do careful upgrade to testing/woody, for Jorge.
If one need something from sid, recompile it from sid source on woody

here (If you know very well, I do not think you ask here.)
See my webpage for my memo on upgrade/recovery.
