apt-get is correcting dependencies--still!

[Mark Wagnon <mwagnon1@home.com>]

Hi all:

I decided to step up to potato tonight. I edited my /etc/sources.list
file and did a 

  # apt-get update
  # apt-get -f dist-upgrade

as per the README. All went well with the download, but part way through
the config KDE locked up on me. I couldn't do anything. Ctrl-alt-F#, etc
wouldn't get me out of X, and I was really bummed, cuz the upgrade was
taking place on another desktop. I let it go for a while hoping that
control would be restored, but no, so I shut the power off. Reboot gave
me tons of errors and I had to run fsck manually (scarry). I guess
everything got fixed so I rebooted again, and did a 

  # dpkg --configure -a

and got everything but three packages configured. So I did a

  # apt-get update
  # apt-get -f upgrade

and apt-get reported the following

  Reading Package Lists... Done
  Building Dependency Tree... Done
  Correcting Dependencies...

and that's where it's been for the past three hours. There's no disk
activity at all.

Does anyone know what's going on here? Should I ctrl-c it and try again?

TIA
