Where gnome-session just gets deleted and not updated.
Hugo
I've updated several months ago and I don't real remember what I did to get it working... Maybe someone could shed some light on this.
Just curious: what happens if you try to install gnome-session before dist-upgrading?
$sudo aptitude install -t experimental gnome-session
Cheers!
