[PLUG] Debian testing problems

This past weekend I noticed that some of Debian testing was broken, 
possibly from the root kit that was installed on the Debian servers.  In 
upgrading my systems I had to revert to manually running dpkg to get the 
system in a stable state.  I think that Mike is experiencing the same 
problems

Suggested approach:

Before upgrading or removing any packages:
rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
apt-get update

This should fix any corrupted files in the downloaded lists
There may still be spome problems with some of the packages so that you 
might have to run dpkg manually on some.  I found that I had to do this 
to make the system once again stable.
