Typically, after deciding I was stumped and posting this message, I
decided to have another go. But this time I used the first _three_ CDs
instead of the first _two_. I didn't expect it to make any difference as
the machine has a very minimal install with few if any odd or unusual
things on it. 

However, debconf-tiny is on CD 3 and apt (presumably) fell over when it
couldn't find it. With 3 CDs apt-cdrom added, it looks as if I am getting
somewhere. 

So the message to you upgraders might be to use 3 CDs at least, and
perhaps to temporarily remove any packages that are on CDs that you havn't
bothered to burn yet. Or it might not. Right now, I am in the middle of an 

apt-get -f install

caused by an intermittent CD read failure -- dirt on the CD, I think.

Fingers crossed!

Hugh
