Re: [orca-list] friend's computer in broken package status

I think I would start completely over from scratch! I know no one
likes to hear or have to do that but When I messed with Debian last
year and tried going up to Unstable and then fall back due to some
critical errors, it completely fell apart.  I just figured at that
point to start over and moved on.  You probably have too many packages
out of sync now.
