Comment 37 for bug 338669

Little update: after re-installing intrepid on a free partition
(and sharing /home between installs) I ran into bug 372487
(just reporting here to emphasize that downgrading the OS
is usually not a good idea).

The good news: with KDE 4.2 from intrepid backports the system
is back to a usable state.
(Just took some ours of downloading both for the install and to repair
the damage of bug 372487).

Also, if anyone provides packages for KDE 4.3 in jaunty I can
immediately test the effect on an affected machine, kind of in
a sandbox, i.e., without the risk of making the machine unusable again.
Perhaps, using two bootable partitions and upgrading only one at a time
is a fair strategy to reduce risks... some redundancy of that kind seems
necessary these days ...
