keeping system up to date

[philrandal]

Updating the "underlying debian system through apt" usually leads to breakage...

I can confirm: it does lead to breakage.
Back from holidays, rountinely update all my systems through ssh...doing it for hte moode box without thinking... it killed my moode.

I routinely update all my Raspberry Pis, including two Moode boxes. Without problems.

If you can figure what broke, and how, it could be useful to other users.

Cheers,

Phil
