Re: apt-get dist-upgrade problems...



Thanks! I made something kind of stupid... Without having finished the
dist-upgrade process becouse of the error I mentioned, I rebooted the
machine... Once it came up nothing would work, this becouse most of the
new packages were only half installed, so I had to reinstall... Its
going good now... 

Thanks!
