   apt-get dist-upgrade may do a better job.


After having just tried that, DT replies:

   "E: Internal Error, Couldn't configure a pre-depend"

   The Release ("Chapter 3 - Upgrades from Previous Release") Notes in
3.5
   recommend against this approach. Elsewhere in the documentation, it
IS    recommended

   I ran it with typescript but there is no additional information there
