slink package upgrades fail

[Bob Nielsen <nielsen@primenet.com>]

After yesterdays package updates, I get the following error messages:

Preparing to replace netstd 3.07-4 (using netstd_3.07-5.deb) ...

dpkg: error while cleaning up:

I also get similar messages for tetex-base and tetex-bin and can neither
install nor remove these packages.

How do I get out of this mess?
