Perhaps a bit unfortunate (because Debian, after all, does come with some guarantees. The Social Contract, among others). Andrew was talking specifically about *sid*. Sid does break from time to time. This is to be expected, by the way it works. > Aren't you even allowed to ask for help if you run sid?
