I just followed the instructions; no more, no less.

The whole thing's a disaster.

I'm reinstalling 8.10 and reminding myself never, ever to use unreleased
stuff again.

I don't know why I succumbed to the temptation to use PPA. You'd think that
the fact that I have never, ever failed to regret using unsupported
packages would have sunk in by now.

I'm sure that other people have had great success. They were lucky. This
used to happen with monotonous regularity in the Mandrake/Mandriva days,
until I swore I'd never do it again.
