Wow! I just posted a message like this Saturday night/Sunday morning (EST5EDT timezone). I was loading a fresh copy of potato and then doing the upgrade to woody so that I can load the XFree86 4.0 drivers for my GeForce2 GTS. I ended up getting the same exact messages and I thought I did something wrong. Since I didn't get a reply, I totally reloaded with potato and did the upgrade for that version, and was just getting ready to upgrade to woody again. Now I think I'll hold off until we find out what is going on here...
