[arend terreehorst <arend.terreehorst@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Stew,

When my update crashed I rebooted and restarted the updates.
The result was that not much functioned and I had all sorts of rubbish to clean out.
In the end, I zapped Ubuntu and did a clean install of the good old 9.04 which worked fine.
I'll just wait for a stable 10 something version before I try again.
For me, having the latest version is unimportant because I just use it at home.
Right now I'm testing Linux Mint 8's KDE version, which, so far, looks nice.

Greetings from France

Arend

> During the upgrade from intrepid to jaunty, sivp has failed to upgrade (remain in 0.4.3.-4 and in trouble). Since, I can't success to upgrade it or remove it, can't success also to remove scilab. Now, the proper upgrade sivp 0.5.0-1 seems to be available, but clicking on the updating button causes that immediate crash. So my problem : Because this package can not be upgraded, all videos are in a big mess (gstreamer, flashplugin... are in troubles...). Now the upgrade is available in the repositories. But anyhow I can not success to make that upgrade.
