Re: Upgrade xorg in Sid breaks link

When I saw that it was going to be a doozie with "apt-get upgrade" and
some packages were going to be held back, I decided to use dselect
for dependency resolution. Good thing, there is a dependency error
with some new library so that all (or a whole bunch) of the X
applications were to be uninstalled. The conflict would not resolve,
so I quit without upgrading. What a mess! I hope they sort it out
soon.
Good thing you had a full backup. The only thing I backup is user data
(and /etc/*) so I would have had to do a fresh rebuild. Hmm, maybe
that's not such a bad idea anyway. Flush out those obsolete libraries
and applications on the list this morning like "kdm". :(
