Re: Debian testing can't tab to desktop?

I was following the instructions at https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting

It is true, I didn't use a 'full-upgrade' because I thought the upgrade 
succeeded.  After I realized all the packages weren't there, I kept 
installing more.  If the upgrade stops without any obvious error, you 
seem to have to run it again to know if it failed, unless I missed 
something.

Sorry, I'm not sure why quickemu. deletes Caja.

Thanks for looking into it.
