Re: Wheezy

The instructions for upgrade note that removing third-party software
(including software from Debian testing or sid) should be uninstalled,
which would include the proprietary nvidia driver. I know I've installed
some unofficial backport packages that may cause this problem, and I plan
on taking an inventory, uninstalling or downgrading, then reinstalling
after the upgrade (if necessary).

Did you uninstall all third party packages?
