It happened to me this sunday (got caught by the llvm-3.4 upgrade). I carefully downgrade each package recently updated, as logged in /var/log/apt/history.log. If i cannot find the old version of a package, i use lynx to download directly the deb file out of snapshot.debian.org. It usually restores the system in a working state. Also, etckeeper might help if you're often fiddling with /etc. Jérémy. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
