Now I am doubly confused, according to what I'm looking at in the
synaptic repo list, I do have that in the first entry, disabled now. I
sure don't recall adding that as it had to be added since Saturday. And
now its only two to be updated, lightning and t-bird, not 2588 packages.

Several folks on the TDE mailing list have already reported no problems
doing the update. Ditto for linuxcnc, although they may have to build a
realtime kernel before linuxcnc will run right again. But thats a
special case for the other machines here, and not applicable to this one
which isn't running machinery heavier than a tabloid sized brother
printer.
