=== X upgrade ===
["Xorg"] was recently transitioned from version 6.9 to 7.0.

 * Common problems upgrading from xorg 6.9 to 7.0 are being documented in Xorg69To7. Check there first if you are having problems
 * '''Common Fix:''' {{{# apt-get install xkb-data}}}
 * [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=maint&data=debian-x%40lists.debian.org&archive=no X bugs]

=== Locales currently broken ===
 * [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=363644 #363644]: What fixed this for one user was upgrading {{{debconf}}} to 1.5.0, purging {{{locales}}}, removing {{{/etc/environment}}} and {{{/etc/default/locale}}}, then reinstalling and reconfiguring {{{locales}}}.

=== *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xdeadbeef *** ===

This is due to GLIB's new memory allocator which broke some false assumptions, which nevertheless some programs assumed.

Packages affected by this problem is tracked with usertag by Gustavo Franco: See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=stratus@debian.org;tag=gslice

Use "G_SLICE=always-malloc application" to workaround.
