So, I tried this to try and resolve it: "aptitude install libfam0", which
results in:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  gcc-4.1-base libfam0 libstdc++6 tzdata
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  initrd-tools kernel-image-2.6.8-3-386
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libc6 libc6-dev libfam0c102 libgcc1
4 packages upgraded, 4 newly installed, 2 to remove and 695 not upgraded.

so, I didn't do that, and instead I tried:
"aptitude install libfam0 initrd-tools", and got:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  gcc-4.1-base libdevmapper1.02 libfam0 libsepol1 libstdc++6 tzdata
The following packages will be upgraded:
  initrd-tools libc6 libc6-dev libfam0c102 libgcc1 libselinux1
6 packages upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 694 not upgraded.


So, then I tried an aptitude -f dist-upgrade again, and got:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  xlibmesa-gl: Depends: xfree86-common but it is not installable
               Conflicts: libgl1 which is a virtual package.
  xlibmesa-glu: Depends: xfree86-common but it is not installable
                Conflicts: libglu1 which is a virtual package.
  libglu1-mesa: Conflicts: libglu1 which is a virtual package.
  libgl1-mesa-glx: Conflicts: libgl1 which is a virtual package.


And I can't find an easy way to get around that one.
