Oh, please.  Your average cluebie passes "dist-upgrade -y" to apt-get, and
then wonders what happened afterward.

If he's *really* unclued, he does it with a cron job someone gave him.
Super bonus points if he does it with aptitude and gets completely
unrelated software removed as well.

I will always maintain that people should be discouraged from using
unstable.
