muon broke another update today and trashed plasma-desktop.
I booted into recovery mode but didn't enable networking and selected "repair broken packages", and after hitting 'd' for details learned plasma-desktop was broken. Rebooted the machine and logged on to a black screen, switched consoles with Ctrl-Alt-F2, ran wicd-curses and connected to the network, then did apt-get install --reinstall plasma-desktop. Rebooted the machine again and everything was fixed and I didn't have to move my laptop or drag out an ethernet cable
Having a command-line wireless utility is a wonderful thing.
