Re: [PLUG] update took out display resolutions, system ignores xorg.conf

[Greg Helledy <gregsonh@gra-inc.com>]

Nevermind.  It looks like I wanted to get something from getdeb back in 
April, and left that repository enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list. 
Yesterday I did a full update and install, which I assume replaced every 
package on the system which had a newer version on getdeb.  That 
explains why there were 100+ updated packages despite there not being a 
new OS release.

At this point I'll write it off as a loss and do a new VM from Mint 18.
A good reminder of the risks with alternate repositories--install your 
package and comment them out!
