Public bug reported: "sudo aptitude install scsiadd" REMOVED ALL MY SOFTWARE -- Jaunty 64 bit on Intel i7 CPU.
Yes, it was my fault because I hit "yes" too soon. But I don't believe that catastrophic changes should be made so easy. I don't have a backup because I was installing this package precisely so that I could mount an external esata drive *to run by first backup* The text that aptitude produced ran off my screen but you can see what it did, below.
