Hosed system after upgrade

["Andrew M.A. Cater" <amc@sc98d.demon.co.uk>]

Ok guys, I did it.

I upgraded my woody system just when the libdb things went _very_
unstable

apt-get update : apt-get dist-upgrade appears to work but dies
on a process error writing to a pipe.

Exim, mutt etc don't work as previously noted elsewhere exiting with
lib.so.3 errors ?? [Not at my home machine now: subscribed from work]

Any help greatly appreciated else I shall have to reinstall potato and
lose vast amounts of upgrades.

Andy
