HELP horrible ssh upgrade

[John Griffiths <john@capmon.com>]

ok this is what happenned:

ssh'd onto a potato 2.2r4 box I remotely admin,

#apt-get update

brought down a bunch of security lists

so i did this:

#apt-get -s dist-upgrade

which told me it had to do an ssh upgrade

now this was always going to be interesting to do
remotely, but I use this service right?

so it's gets to "Configuring Packages"

and then it locks up and I lose the connection

now I can't ssh back in, and web and email are down

I relaise I'm going to have to drive over in my lunch 
hour to reset the box,

but if that doesn't work does anyone have any suggestions?

John
