Ah, I see. Working on the problem (which didn't show up in the bug reports I saw then) for a week, doesn't imply such? Reverting the install is a bit harder than you imply. The older package apparently is linked against older libs, against which a number of other apps are dependent. I use unstable because I need the currency of the libs and certain apps for my work. I have "managed my box" for a number of years at that level, thank you, much of that in the face of help like yours. > Myself, I've not allowed it to install and don't plan to until I have time > to (a) test it, and (b) easily back it out when it breaks.
