I don't know how to solve your problem, but I can say you that there will be a new release of Trisquel in January and that Trisquel 3.0 is based in jaunty, I think.
Thank you for your support to Free Software :D Keep on ;) El dc 30 de 12 de 2009 a les 22:38 +0100, en/na [email protected] va escriure: > Is there a way to easily update core system packages without waiting for a > new Trisquel or gutting the system?
