Well, I deleted the MD5Sums, and upgraded, until I tried to log in...ha ha ha...My keymap is back to that weird something-or-other keymap, where r=3 and so forth. What's wrong powerpc .debs assuming you have a mac style keyboard? Or even asking if assuming is the wrong way to go about it? Clearly assuming is wrong because it doesn't work for me!! Now I have to go and re-research the solution to getting a working keymap! What a pain _that_ is. I even chose to retain the original xfree86config file...
So, this didn't go too well for me...
