Testing karmic currently impossible?

[Markus Hitter]

Is it just me or is testing karmic currently impossible? Here it  
started with $HOME/.xsession(rc) being ignored, after some wrestling  
and updates the GUI was gone completely.

Then I did a reinstall of alpha5 on a fresh partition. Right after  
installation the OS worked, but automatic updates reported a lot of  
trouble, removed packages as essential(?) as "hostnames" or "acpi- 
support" and now the system won't even boot: the Grub menu contains  
not a single kernel.

It's a pretty generic Dell with a Core 2 Duo, intended to run desktop- 
amd64. Any idea on how to get back on track?
