No, I used dist-upgrade, and I saw the same errors. Unfortunately, I did *not* keep records at all. I do remember that after getting the errors he describes (GLIBC_2.2 not found, etc.) I found that most things worked except for Perl, and that Perl was needed to run some install/configure scripts or other. I found that commenting out a line in (I believe) /etc/apt/apt.conf prevented apt running those scripts. After commenting out that line and continuing with apt-get, I ended up with a working installation and no further problems. Apologies if the lack of detail makes this not very useful.... ---Bruce Fields
