I wish I did, but as soon as debconf asked "would you like to upgrade
libc6 now?" and I answered "yes", the system became completely unusable.

However, my desktop has not been upgraded yet. This is the list taken
from my desktop which should be reasonably close to the list of upgraded
packages on the laptop:

jack@nostromo:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
