yeah, i think if you stick with lenny you have less reboots, but i also think once you've been tainted by by a bad squeeze package you seem tainted forever. i'm now able to download stuff from lenny that i couln't before. i'm also able to download packages that another poster said reboots their phone, namely gnumeric and rcalc. i might look into downloading the latest stable version of gconf2 to see if that makes a difference.
