Last week I did a "apt-get dist-update" and 'upgraded' my fedora core 1 after installing atrpm. After fighting with my machine for a couple hours, I discovered that the reason X would not allow me to log in was, that gnome and gdk were fuxored somehow. After I switched to KDE, I could login. Mozilla mail was fuxored as well, so I downloaded the src rpm for 1.6 then built and installed it.
The new version of KDE is pretty and kewl. :-)
I have fiddled about and got KDE working satisfactorily, so it is not imperative that I get Gnome working, but I would like it.

Should some of the repositories defined in the atrpm-config sources.conf be disabled, and/or should others be added.
No, the repositores should be complete.
Did you get any errors or warnings during dist-upgrade? Please post
some details about how the gnome/gtk bits got broken on
bugzilla.atrpms.net. Thanks.
I rebooted a number of times and check the X logs before I determined the problem was with gnome/gdm. I am not sure how to get additional information about the problem because I am not getting any errors, and I don't know where there would be logs for the gdk problem.
I'm done work for the day, so I got go, if anyone has any pointers about where I should look to figure out whats broken, let me know and I'll check it out tomorrow.
Later
