Wow, you've all been quite helpful. Thanks for the Pat's howto on
upgrading. Yes I ran everything as root. I didn't try chmod on
slapt-get executable, i was too perplexed when I found out it doesn't
work. Ok, i'll try to function without these tools. One more thing: the
package libcairo is really nowhere to be found on a mirror! Or am i
wrong again? How else do i get libcairo.so.2?
