To answer my own question, no, it is not sensibly soluble, and I should certainly reinstall. I have explored some more. It did not, and would not, upgrade to Wheezy. According to uname -a it was 6.0.8, not 7 at all. So I checked the sources.list, all correctly identified as wheezy, ran update again, and tried to run apt-get upgrade. Got told that there were lots of broken dependencies, and to run -f install, which then refused to run. So I gave up and have now started a reinstallation. I apologise for the lack of verbatim error mesages. I didn't think to keep them, and as I said, it is already reinstalling. :-( Sorry, archives, Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
