Actually, all the packages containing "network-manager" in their names seem already not to be installed. Aptitude reports them as purged, which presumably means never installed. So unless it gets installed by a rogue dependency during upgrade, I should be OK. Thanks for the advice. I'll ssh in and if the text consoles don't reappear after completing the upgrade, I can investigate further at leisure. -- hendrik > > Best regards, > > Claudius -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
