I have had a few problems with more complex systems of late. Definitely add in "revdep-rebuild -i" and "python-updater" even if the error messages don't indicate they are not needed. "perl-cleaner --all" was needed as well a week or two ago. I also had a couple of systems die on the libpng update with weird errors as it was trying to use old libs and not the newer ones ... BillK
