Try it again. Wait. Try it again. The recent point release may be
affecting it.
If space permits it's a good idea to pre-download the packages before
doing an upgrade to save network surprises during the process. eg.:-
# apt-get -d upgrade
if that shows no warnings
# apt-get upgrade
There is probably an equivalent for aptitude. Sorry I don't have the man
files to quote.
Cheers
