Re: Gnome not working after dist-upgrade

Now I added unstable instead of testing in /etc/apt/sources.list and
performed a apt-get dist-upgrade, but bonobo2-0 still causes errors, I'm
not able to start the X server.
apt-get reports following:
following packages have unmet dependencies:
libbonobo-activation4 not upgraded, still conflicts with bonobo2-0 (2.4.0)
When I try to correct this with apt-get -f install I get the same error.
When I do dpkg -s libbonobo or bonobo2 both packages seems to be installed.
I don't know how so solve that ...

removing bonobo2-0 definitely kills gnome
