Same problem here and thanks a million for the fix which I didn't suss out.
losing several hours of faffling around instead.
Just my 2 cents but I am getting a little desperate at the number of bog ups
in Unstable at the moment. I don't want to leave the platform but if things
continue like this I will have to. Like many folks perhaps, I am completely
baffled by Debian's reluctance to get together a desktop iternation that is
more up to date than Stable. It doesn't have to be rock solid, but
there must
be a better way than this.
