My apologies for being cynical, but it's hard to resist to be cynical.

If somebody don't have the skills to read and post a log file, than ...
and this advice isn't meant cynical ... don't use unstable, even using
testing without those minimal skills isn't such a good idea, however, at
least using unstable without knowledge is stupid.

If you use unstable you can expect that it's unstable, so you should
know where to take a look to get information, IOW read the log files and
then post the log files.
