This is a problem of DrakX to be addressed, it upgrade some package but leaves package in bad state, this will problably be fixed by checking what is good or not. > 3.

Currently, this is a limitation of DrakX which never allow changing password during upgrade, thus higher security level has caused problem here. Fran�ois.
