HELP: My System Died After an Update/Upgrade

[Jason Holtzapple]

Look at your /var/log/dpkg.log and see what packages were updated. You
could then go look at open bugs on those packages at
packages.debian.org. The aptosid.com forums are also useful for
researching debian testing or unstable breakage. Good luck - as a user
of debian testing and unstable I've been there before.
