Thank you Rebecca.

I fixed the problem by first installing the latest version of the
nvidia driver (with apt-get, aptitude refused to do it), and THEN the
upgrade phase went smoothly.

I suppose aptitude had some trouble with its algorithms for dealing
with conflicting versions... apt-get doesn't seem to have such
scruples :-)

Thanks for your time. And sorry for the noise.
