Do you have logs of exactly what happened, by any chance? I've seen the
same problem myself numerous times, but I've not been able to work out for
sure quite what's wrong, nor been able to duplicate it with minimal test
installs. If you happen to have an old copy of your /var/lib/dpkg/status
file (/var/lib/dpkg/status-old or /var/backups/dpkg.status.* possibly)
from before you upgraded, that might be a big help. A log of what apt did
when it upgraded your system would help too.
Cheers,

I don't speak for anyone save myself. GPG signed mail preferred.
