How can I know whether my Etch system isn't broken?

[csanyipal <csanyipal@csanyi-pal.info>]

Hello!

I have dist upgraded from Sarge to Etch since a 1-2 month.
I use Synaptic for this and to installing packages.

Now I think that that maybe my system is broken, because of some bugs 
that I find in emacs21.

When I find bug in emacs21 and jde that I try to use with emacs21, I 
report bug with reportbug. Then I purged emacs21 and try to reinstall 
with synaptic, but can't to do that. So I try this a few times and then 
success the installation of emacs21. One of the maintainer of emacs21 
wrote to me that that my system is maybe broken.

Synaptic says no broken package.

How can I know whether my system is broken, or isn't?

I appreciate any advices!
