Further to my initial message, this problem has been floating around
for months (I found references to in the archives from January) but I
had assumed that it had been sorted out by the time of Woody's formal
release. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. There is a report from
Sven Hartrumpf <Sven.Hartrumpf@FernUni-Hagen.de> posted on debian-user
a few days ago describing the same problem.
I've attached the transcript from the attempted upgrade. (By this
stage, the initial attempt to upgrade using "dselect" had failed and
using my backups I had restored the state of my system before trying
the update again using apt-get.)
As per section 3.5 the Release Notes, I had already done an "apt-get
update" and I was up to the step of updating "dpkg", "apt", and
"debconf":
