Bad juju that lack of disk space!

The first thing that comes to mind, is you have at least one link to the
packages in question in one of the /etc/rc?.d directories. The
update-rc.d won't muck with your links unless there are none. This way,
every time you do an upgrade, your links don't get screwed with. If you
want the defaults do "update-rc.d -f <package> remove ; update-rc.d
<package> defaults". That should do the trick.
