I made teh stupid mistake of copying /etc/apt/sources from one machine to 
another.
Problem is, I did not copy the preferences file also, and the new sources had a 
line
referencing unstable.

I then used dselect, and it upgraded 200= packages!

At the monent, my system's pretty hosed (gnome does not work at all for 
instance).

I have pretty decent Amanda backups. Is there some way that I can restore
the system to wgere it was before? Either by using tha Amanda backups (but 
won't that muck up
the Debian packages databse?) Or somehow get dselect or apt-get to resoter it 
to where it was
yesterday?
