Jusf for completeness, I did an apt-get update earlier today....
On the plus side, cheers to the guys who made the change that doesn't
update /boot/grub/menu.lst until after the new kernel is completely
installed. Saved me hacking around to roll the kernel back.
Hmm, probably should find out what "253 not installed or removed"
means....
