I definitely did not add sid to the source list, this is why I'm really
p****d off over this.

I've checked though all the files in /ect/apt/ and I can find no
reference to sid anywhere.
You may consider me to be totality stupid but there is no way you can

Up to the last normal file update, which was a batch of 110 files this
machine was working reasonably well, its not now.
I dont expect pre-release to be 100% stable, but this is far from
stable now.
