It is odd, before the upgrade I couldn't start system manager or printing, which is what prompted me to upgrade. They now work, however cups won't start. I didn't get any errors on the terminal during the upgrade. I've yet to try to boot xp or lxle so not sure if there will be a problem there. All my partitions will mount through terminal commands from antiX. I'm at a bit of a loss tbh!

I think it is the Debian Wheezy repos screwing up dist-upgrades, I tried it a couple of weeks ago & everything went haywire, so I just re installed & left it 'as is'.
