Hello,

I decided to upgrade my Debian Stable (Buster) system today using
instructions on the Internet.

I booted into Mate. The first bad thing was no speech. I remembered being
asked if I wanted to update my /etc speech dispatcher files. I said "yes"
because /etc is system settings, right? I forgot speech runs system wide.

Next was to fix that problem by just reinstating MATE, but now the second
problem:  no networking. I rebooted to use a USB rescue disk.

I had to use a Ubuntu rescue disk because both my Ethernet and Wi-Fi cards
contain non-firmware.

I did a chroot having mounted my broken Debian system at /media/debian.

My updates seemed OK, but reinstalling didn't seem to work because they
were done in seconds.

Is there a method of fixing a broken Debian Bullseye system on the latest
release candidate CD?

Best wishes

David
