Slink installed without trouble... the upgrade to potato is breaking on
tetex-base..

As for the mirror, all I know is it is coming from
http://http.us.debian.org; as for which of the us mirrors that is, I don't
know. (Do we have multiple us mirrors using that name?)
Here is a bit of a cut'n'paste:
Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main tetex-base 1.0-4 [11.0MB]
Fetched 10.9MB in 2m18s (78.2kB/s)
Selecting previously deselected package tetex-base.
(Reading database ... 28838 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace tetex-base 0.9.981113-1 (using
.../tetex-base_1.0-4_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement tetex-base ...
And, a ps aux shows these that I think are involved:

Sorry -- no good trying to hunt down when it dies ... nothing stood out as
wrong. :(
