I could not find this command.

I've decided (for better or worse) to go ahead with the "dist-upgrade" and 
am following the instructions VERY closely.  It looks as if I'm going to end 
up with apache and apache2.  Not a very good situation, but I'll try to 
remove apache afterwards.  There might be another posting to this group on 
how to remove this properly without a dist-upgrade trying to install it in 
the future.
