i guess i am the guilty party.

being sadder and wiser, it is interesting to note subtile differences in 
my newly reconstituted system made via dpkg --get-selections with full 
restores of /root /home and /etc:

gnome terminal is gone and not available via apt-get

> apt-get install gnome-terminal
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package gnome-terminal has no available version, but exists in the 
database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
However the following packages replace it:
  gnome-help-data 
E: Package gnome-terminal has no installation candidate

gnome-help... hardly

and my colors are different on mutt (same config file) and right 
clicking urls in mail no longer works!
