Ok, I got my system working again, but this update was really badly screwed.

While running apt-get dist-upgrade, the system (I suppose it was the panel, but that wasn't clear from the dialog) started to complain about missing icons, giving me a new error dialog every 2 seconds. Then the panel and the applets started crashing.

When the update was over, I wasn't able to log into X11 again, after the GDM login I only got a blank screen. After changing the session type back and forth from failsafe to gnome, it worked again.

Furthermore, /etc/init.d/ifrename complained about a missing /sbin/ifrename. Apparently the package was removed and the init script didn't check for the existance of the binary.

pcmcia-cs now complains on startup, that the kernel actually needs pcmcia-utils, but I cannot uninstall pcmcia because ubuntu-dekstop depends on bluez which depends on pcmcia-cs.

My xscreensaver settings (especially that it should ask for a password) were lost and I wasn't informed about that.

The panel settings were also completely gone.
