Most of the problems seem to have been caused by an essential update to
virtuoso coming out far too close to the 4.4 release date for comfort, yet
needing to be included. Most of us that suffered worst were the ones that had
been running virtuoso already. The developers thought that hardly any
'ordinary users' would fall into that category, and were surprised by the
result. The 4.4.1 update should be out soon, and I'd be inclined to not push
4.4.0 to users that are less than comfortable with fixing things. Just my
opinion,of course.
I (to my knowledge) had not been running virtuoso. I never enabled
desktop search. Yet, after installing 4.4 from updates-testing, I got
the warning about nepomukserver failing. And this required me to
track down a directory to rename so that the warning would go away.
My only point is that I wasn't running anything prerelease and I
encountered a problem that an "ordinary user" would have difficulty
solving on his own. It seems that this will happen when
updates-testing is pushed to updates.
