Edit [15:00 EST]: a fixed package was fetched from incoming.
The fix is not needed anymore

Please do not dist-upgrade for now. There is a broken package: libattr1.
Dist-Upgrade might hang, or KDE will not start. There is no solution so far. Removing it will uninstall X.
So please hang on, we are at it right now.

EDIT:
apt-get install libattr1/testing works for now.
Debian should have a corrected package by tomorrow.
