What I meant to ask was what error message you got when you tried to run dselect or X. For example, how did you know that X couldn't find any of its paths? What paths and files did dselect say it was unable to find? I understand, though, that since you've now reverted back to potato, you can't now reproduce the problem. > > Have you tried using apt-get instead of dselect? > > I did use apt-get update.
