Has anyone else been finding upgrades to woody getting better or

I've done five or six installations on different systems and architectures
over the past few months and all of them have had some stage of this
'dysfunctional mode' you refer to. Eventually things fell back in place and
started working quite well, and I'm afraid I don't have a consistent lesson
I took out of it to explain how/why.
Often, it's been necessary to look at the exact packages it's looking for
and get them manually and install them with dpkg -i. This may not be
correct, but it seems like once you get a critical mass of things working,
apt becomes functional again.
