while(!PR1.4){
if(Software = 'Nokia') {
fix = false;
}else {
chance = rand(1,10);
if(chance > 6) fix = true;
}

Well... I think it rebooted when I tried to install cadabra. Running "dpkg --configure -a" showed there were new stale files in /var/lib/dpkg/updates. Synaptic cannot be used until this is fixed although cadabra appeared to work.
So I moved the directory updates to updates_stale and made a new updates directory. I also copy back the files in update_stale to updates as the stale files will not copy
I then ran "dpkg --configure -a" again and got the message
set up /usr/lib/libpulsecommon-0.915 so that it is not a common link.
Synaptic works now.
Any ideas why this happens?
EDIT: Actually it is not working. I get an error concerning empty file name when trying to reinstall a file (texlive-latex-recommended-doc). I'm not allowed to proceed unless this is first fixed. I may have to start from scratch again...

Just a general suggestion, I've mapped control + comma to behave as Alt + tab for window cycling.
To do so, just edit the file ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml , search for the line "<keybind key="A-Tab">" and change it to "<keybind key="C-comma">".

I have a further question about locales - running 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' was fine for generating the one(s) I need, but the default locale was still inherited from Maemo's settings, which was causing some python scripts to fail with codec errors. I found I could override them using Easy-Debian's /etc/environment (or /.debian/etc/environment):
Can anyone tell me whether this is the 'right' way to accomplish this?

The biggest program I added was cadabra which uses about 400mb and upgrades some of the texlive programs. vic in itself is not a huge program so I'm not sure what happened. Perhaps files were already corrupted from a previous download. Gathering from the other threads, there may be some systemic problems using apt-get with PR1.3, but, In my case it was important to monitor free space and to heed rebhana's words to constantly do an apt-get clean!
