I really don't think so, because originally it had edgy installed, and 
it had been working without a hitch for the last three months. Only 
today when I tried to update it did I get problems. This escalated to 
the point of me reinstalling. Something weirder is going on, surely. 
Those packages referred to by the virtual package don't even exist. Have 
the repos been hacked or summat?
