Well the script I run every morning does update then upgrade then dist-upgrade
then auto-remove, so if it is the dist-upgrade then it has just done an
upgrade, so I do not think that is going to help.
I have just tried running an upgrade on its own, and it had nothing to do, and
then a dist-upgrade which failed. So doing an upgrade does not help.
