Worst time to reinstall

My laptop uses Ubuntu for the last six months; it's been keeping track of Breezy Badger, the currently unstable branch, for the last 3 months or so and it usually works great. Having some spare time this weekend and with the breezy branch looking seemingly without problems, I've decided to reinstall my desktop computer with ubuntu, as the original installation (originally Debian Woody, then Sarge, then Sid, made 18 months ago) had accumulated too much cruft, mostly due to my tinkering.

So I've downloaded yesterdays archive, I've formatted the disks, installed Hoary Hedgehog and upgraded it to the latest and greated Breezy...

Only to find out that Breezy has been in turmoil for the last 24 hours due to fact that libcairo is getting upgraded to the last version, but several high-profile applications (Firefox!) and components (gnome-panel!) still depend on the old version, which is no longer available via the update system...

Luckily I found an apropriate version after some searching on the web.
