from autocrossover, Mint forum,
WARNING!!!!! I just upgraded my Sid & lost it all......libc6 & depends looks like it blew up my Sid, version is - 2.13-3--I rebooted into my Experimental & updated everything but libc6 in my available updates without problems. Chroot is not available for my Sid either....Sid was a bad, bad boy this evening........



From my Debian-gnome-sid
thanks autocrosser for the warning,
