OK - when I re-run apt-get dist-upgrade, I get this:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Calculating Upgrade... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libgsl0 libgtk-common libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-common libmpich1.0
libnet-smtp-server-perl libpango-common libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-common
mpich-common snd-gtk spamc tcl8.4-dev
The following packages have been kept back
fetchmail libgnome-dev
129 packages upgraded, 13 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not
upgraded.
321 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 68.0kB/65.5MB of archives. After unpacking 18.9MB will be

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Note all the packages not fully installed or removed; then, when I

Is something happening in the wrong order? Thanks for the assistance, and
the reassurance that my system's not too badly hosed!
