Comment 41 for bug 427356

Well, I'm now able to boot again - but this was a pain. I have a couple questions...

1. With all the functional package dependency issues, were they not all set in the debs? eg - How is it that some packages being available and some not allowed it to mangle so many systems in the field? Shouldn't it have held off trying to install any until all were in? Were the dependencies set incorrectly?

2. With such a large change (touching so many areas) with such risk ('average' testers unable to boot/recover without a lot launchpad visits after rescue usb/cd)... Was this tested as set via a PPA etc first and somehow everyone running via the PPA just had zero issues? - Or was it direct to test on all the 'normal' alpha uses using the normal repos?

Ouch and glad to be able to boot all the way into X again - thanks for the recovery. :)
