[nflug] apt ineptitude

[Stephen Burke]

Hi all,

It seems I am unable to do an apt-get upgrade ... dist-upgrade without 
screwing things up royally. Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong, but 
recently I did apt-get update, upgrade, dist-upgrade (one at a time) on 
an elive (debian) system and apparently lost some crucial fonts. Most 
things still work ok, but the popup automount type windows are all 
showing little squares instead of letters. I get the same in the mplayer 
menu, and gftp is entirely composed of squares. It probably happens 
elsewhere, but that's all I've noticed so far.

I'm assuming that some very basic font has gone missing, but I have no 
idea which or where to begin looking for it. Any ideas?

Thanks,
S.
