It's been a while! ;-) I'm pretty sure this is what I got, where w3m
is not in my archive directory (as the correct version) at the moment:
beaker:~# apt-get upgrade --fix-missing --no-download

The reason I found this error -- in case you were wondering! ;-) -- is
that I'm trying to get an equivalent of apt-zip which I can use to
write CDs rather than zip files, since that's all I can do at work
where I have a worthwhile net connection ... in the end, I missed out
one or other of the switches, and it seemed happy to give me "can't
download" errors, I think.
Thanks,
Andy
