And the other issue....  did he do an upgrade?    I have always maintained 
that when doing an upgrade, you'll never know whether a bug you come across 
is due to an incompatibility between releases or some new bug that comes with 
the new release...   

Its a possibility in this case..

I went through all of the Edgy packages that I installed, and I found 5 that 
also had 'beta' in their names.  It's a judgement call whether to use a beta 
version of a package or to use an old version.   But in any event, it doesn't 
make an entire release bad if a beta package is used.
