Hi,

There is a an unexpected problem with nautilus 2.6 in sarge, it need
capplets 2.6 which didn't go in. The result is some white paper sheets
instead of your icons.

The solutions :

* do dot upgrade nautilus, nautilus-data and libnautilus2-2 to 2.6:

- to put them on hold :
$ echo "nautilus hold" | dpkg --set-selections
$ echo "nautilus-data hold" | dpkg --set-selections
$ echo "libnautilus2-2 hold" | dpkg --set-selections

- To remove the hold later
$ echo "nautilus install" | dpkg --set-selections
$ echo "nautilus-data install" | dpkg --set-selections
$ echo "libnautilus2-2 install" | dpkg --set-selections


* upgrade capplets to unstable version:

- add an unstable source in your /etc/apt/sources.list:
example:
"deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib"

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install capplets

(yes it's conflict with acme, acme is a part of the control-center in
2.6)

remove it from sources.list and apt-get update again


* downgrade nautilus to 2.4:

$ wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/nautilus/
nautilus_2.4.2-2_i386.deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/
nautilus/libnautilus2-2_2.4.2-2_i386.deb
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/nautilus/nautilus-data_2.4.2-2_all.deb
$ dpkg -i *.deb


Sorry for the problems, we are trying to have the problem fixed but it's
not easy to reach testing fast, it'll take some days.


Cheers,

Sebastien Bacher
