you are using sid. sid is the unstable branch of debian. there WILL be problems.

that's because sid *is* unstable. Sid is not for casual users. sid

that's because you're running "sid" which is the unstable branch of

stable branch, "etch" is the current testing but is about to become
stable. You shold not be running sid.
