I think there are some developers that need to install language packs
in their brains.

Please tell me what part of I did not add Debian Sid sources do you not
understand.
I did not what them , I did not add them.
This occured after an update of about 100 files.
I just spending most of the night reloading everything , including
putting Mandriva on a partition because Cadsoft eagle no longer runs or
loads on 9.04.
Something is stopping it from creating a /tmp file to install from.

There really need to be a language test for developers, I realise that
English is not a native tongue to all, but in that the northern end
of that large continent that sits between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, there is absolutely no excuse for not being able to read
English.


ONCE MORE FOR THOSE THAT CANT READ

I DID NOT ADD DEBIAN SID TO THE APT LISTS, IT OCCURRED AFTER AN UPDATE

And furthermore the reason I flagged it, apart from being pissed off
with the hassle, was if that came off one of the mirrors and your
running something like rsync it would spread very quickly and cause
chaos just before the release.
