I have extracted my backup of the pre-upgrade (Lenny) system and reran the upgrade steps. I could reproduce the error about openoffice.org-emailmerge_1%3a3.1.1-8_all.deb. The "apt-get -f install" appears to have resolved the openoffice problems. There were other errors later, but they may have to do with the fact that I had extracted to a nodev file system and forgotten to mount -bind /dev appropriately (or maybe they came because I had not backed up /var/cache).
Anyway, you can find the log (created with "xterm -l") of the whole session on http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/tmp/Xterm.log.smaug.2010.01.10.13.23.18.28970 The commands I did for the upgrade are: 2060 #editing /etc/apt/sources.list and .../preferences 2061 cat /etc/apt/sources.list 2062 cat /etc/apt/preferences 2063 apt-get -q install apt dpkg 2064 apt-get update 2065 apt-get -q install apt dpkg 2066 apt-get -q dist-upgrade 2067 apt-get -q dist-upgrade 2068 apt-get -q -f install HTH, - anton -- M.
