Stability problems.

[Daniel Carrera]

Hello,

After a recent 'apt-get update' my apps suddenly became very unstable. 
Firefox, Gaim, gFTP.

I'm running Breezy and the update was earlier this week. At some points 
the app will freeze. If you cover it with a window and then move the 
window the app doesn't repaint. So my first thought is a GTK problem. 
But the freeze is not random. Firefox freezes when loading a site (not 
any one site in particular). gFTP freezes when connecting to a 
particular FTPsite. Gaim freezes when connecting to Freenode.

Another hypothesis is that these apps share the libraries for connecting 
to the internet (do they?).

Whatever it is, I'm confident that it is something common to all the 
apps (ie. a library) which got updated earlier this week. My system has 
been stable (okay, Firefox was never spectacular) but suddenly it's gone 
haywire. It's worse than Windows!

Can anyone help me out?

Is there a way to find out what packages I've updated this past week? 
That would provide more clues.

Best,
Daniel.
