When I did 'apt-get -u dist-upgrade' I noticed that
task-x-window-system-core was maked as held back. After the upgrade I
still had my v3.3.6 servers on the system. I did 'apt-get install
task-x-window-system-core' and the final part of the new X install was
carried out. After that everything ran fine. It looked like it needed a
two stage upgrade.
