Maybe I should be a full-time tester--I seem to be pretty good at it. I built another vm from the D-I beta, pointed sources.list at sid, and ran aptitude update, all as before. This time, though, I held all updates while installing dbus 1.8.8-1 and libcap-ng0 0.7.4-2 with nominal results, then unheld the updates again (aptitude : if it matters) and ran the aptitude dist-upgrade, which failed as before. -- <not cent from sell> May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
