Upgrade problems...

[Matthew Gibbins <mgibbins@mindless.com>]

 Hi folks.
 In spite of best intentions I experienced corruption of a Reiserfs partition.
 This was particularly noticable while running 'apt-get dist-upgrade' on a 
 woody system.
 To put it briefly apt couldn't remove certain files during install and halted
 at the point. I rebuilt the filesystem tree which fixed the file deletion 
 problem. 
 However, I have been unable to install later packages, particularly slib and 
 any dependent packages.

 I've tried 'apt-get -f install slib' and the following occurs...
 Any assistance appreciated.

 Cheers,
 Matt.
