I'll just point out a general approach on what to do if there is some problem during an upgrade. First you need to see if there are any packages in at "bad" state. Do the following `dpkg --audit' If this returns nothing, then all is well. Otherwise you need to configure the "pending" packages. Do the following: `dpkg --configure --pending' After that, run `dpkg --audit' again so make sure everything is now ok. Then finally, to make sure that all packages really were downloaded and installed, try running the upgrade again: `apt-get upgrade' or `apt-get dist-upgrade' Cheers, Nick. -- Debian 3.1 Linux twofish 2.6.8-looxt93c3 i686 GNU/Linux
