I used 'dist-upgrade', not 'install apt', a couple weeks ago. I got
the same sort of errors. I tried the '-f' (force) option (as
suggested by some program) and it worked. I then killed it so I could
go back to regular uprade mode (after libc and libstdc++ were
upgraded) and had no real trouble, except that I occasionally got a
Sub-process died error. As suggested, run 'dpkg --reconfigure -a',
then kill it because (of course) the configure will fail with only
some packages installed. Restart the dist-upgrade to continue where
it left off before. Note that I may have been lucky in all of this to
not have any disatrous side-effects, and I probably got some error
messages along the way that I solved, and now don't remember.o
HTH,
