Re: Help - Gnome Died After Update/Upgrade
Stephen, So should I remove the unstable version of gnome-shell and gnome-common, and install the testing version? I don't want to keep getting the unstable version as I assume it will break more often. Or, does aptitude just go by version numbers, and the unstable version that I am using is now in testing?
