No, I used dist-upgrade, and I saw the same errors. Unfortunately, I did
*not* keep records at all. I do remember that after getting the errors he
describes (GLIBC_2.2 not found, etc.) I found that most things worked
except for Perl, and that Perl was needed to run some install/configure
scripts or other. I found that commenting out a line in (I believe)
/etc/apt/apt.conf prevented apt running those scripts. After commenting
out that line and continuing with apt-get, I ended up with a working
installation and no further problems.
Apologies if the lack of detail makes this not very useful....
