the current upgrade from lenny to squeeze is quite borked due to
a) apt-get wanting to nuke all xorg
b) udev beeing again a pain in the arse.

so I don't remember when aboves happened in the myriad of
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get -f install
aptitude --full-upgrade

but i didn't get a debconf note, no.
hmm checking the root mail account, I see lots of mails telling me to:
evolution --force-shutdown
why can't that be done by hand, note that evolution was not actively
used on that workstation. It came with gnome.

debconf was set to Noninteractive and critical priority.
