Brian, I am wishing I had not started down the "Breezy" path ;^) now. "cuz that's exactly what I'm doing now - re-installing Hoary. It worked and was quite solid for how I was using it. Oh well. It's been a lot of years since I last tripped so badly over the "bleeding edge" 'cuz I thought the newest thing was so bright and shiny I just had to have it.
On the other hand - it was a bit of education about how dependencies can still be broken - even using apt-get. Thanks for the attempt to help and the encouragement. I'll go back to checking for belly button lint while I re-install yet ONE MORE TIME!

All of the repositories for Hoary are still active and available, and will be for some time to come thanks to the philosophy behind Ubuntu. I have not run into any problems with Breezy (I obviously run a different set of packages and have different needs than you do), and I actually prefer the minimalist approach to the base distribution. However, you are obviously unhappy with it, so I encourage to go back to Hoary.
