Hi all,

I just did the latest updates through Adept, and rebooted so I could
use the latest kernel. Upon restart, X did not start up (however it
did drop me at a terminal). I ran 'kdm' to start KDE, and it told me
'kdm' wasn't installed. Upon further investigation:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

E: Broken packages

Apparently the latest update seriously screwed up my system. Any ideas
on how to fix this?
