I had the same problem because I thought that I needed to upgrade my apt to
the "statically linked" package mentioned in the upgrade notes. But that is
only if you are upgrading via a CD set. If you are going over the net, you
need to use the latest apt (v0.3.10) in slink, or it will not properly resolve
names. The 0.3.19 will not work in slink for a net upgrade.
