Grendel - in the end I went to the Helix-Gnome ftp site - same address
as the one in your /etc/apt/sources.list - spidermonkey.helix.com,
except that it is ftp rather than http. I manually downloaded the couple
of files causing apt-get problems and put them into
/var/cache/apt/archives and re-ran apt-get dist-upgrade. This time, it
worked OK.
Hope this helps.
BTW the new version of Helix-Gnome has the panel applets in a package
called 'gnome-applets' which the upgrade didn't install for me.
Helix Gnome is looking *so* cool - it makes Windows look very old and
clunky. I just love it.
