This is surely not current testing: the Debian release should be 3.1,
and it has been such for quite some time.

What is your version of nautilus and libgnomevfs2-0?

What is your version of gdm? What are you calling a computer hard
freeze?

Please detail what you are calling "font" and "eel" problems. What are
your versions of libxft2, libfontconfig1, libfreetype6, libpango1.0-0,
libeel2-2?

Explain. Give your version of gnome-terminal.

No, this is not reproducible here. What is your version of abiword and
its dependencies?

Which sources are you using for the upgrade? They obviously look
different from the official sarge sources if even base-files is
outdated.

If this is that easy, then do it yourself and stop sending bugreports
insulting other people, especially about obviously different versions
from the official ones. A quick glance at your reports in the BTS shows
you are used to such rants and insults without any understanding of what
you're talking about. If you want proper answers to your reports, then
please fill proper reports.
