Description
strace and gdb indicate something to do with X.
Along with QGIS lot's of other applications fail:
- konquerer
- qt designer
- eric4
- texmaker
The problem is actually a package that was upgrading during the dist-upgrade. It has yet to be identified but the list of potential bad packages is attached.
Plan is isolate the package and submit the issue to the appropriate developers. In the mean time we'll need to warn Intrepid users to remove the package.
Note: may not apply to all machines.

I've attached my package list for comparison. Although perhaps we need to have package version numbers factored into the mix...

Here is my package list, my upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 went just fine.

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from Open to Closed
This seems to be resolvable by doing:
sudo apt-get remove --purge libqt3-headers libqt3-mt libqt3-mt-dev uim-qt3
I believe specifically doing:
sudo apt-get remove --purge uim-qt3
should resolve the issue but needs to be verified.
