So sorry, Mark.

I have done a fresh install of 6.0.0 KDE amd64, i added the 6.0.1a

I have no idea how to update from 6.0.1a!  I thought that you said
that you had done it, so I thought it must be a gap in my knowledge
that you had read about!!

Have you tried apt-get dist-upgrade?  (If you have already answered
this and I have forgotten your answer, I aplologise.)  If not, try it.
 It could solve your problem.

If that doesn't work, try installing again from 6.0.1a. rather than
6.0.0. I think that we may have found the root of your problem.  There
were problems with 6.0.0, which is why 6.0.1 was released so soon
after the release of 6 itself.  There may be no upgrades for it.  I
would, however, have expected 6.0.0 to upgrade to 6.0.1a. :-/

If installing from 6.0.1a doesn't solve the problem, try 6.0.1 itself.
 And if that doesn't work, feel free to howl with frustration. :-(

now i don't know what's up:

cat /etc/debian_version
6.0.1

You obviously have successfully upgraded at some point! That leaves rather
few potential explanations other than that you are now fully upgraded.

Could you run apt-get update followed by apt-get dist-upgrade and post what
you get? Also it is worth posting the present state of
your /etc/network/interfaces file. That just _might_ give us some clues!

While updating one of my other machines, I got the following result:

<quote>
Current status: 854 new [+424].
root@Junior:/home/lisi# aptitude full-upgrade
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.

Is this what you are seeing? In this case it meant that there were 854 new
packages to add to the database (I had just added four extra repositories to
my sources.list) but there were no upgrades needed.
