Using dist-upgrade is dangerous on a partially completed release, as you have discovered. I would strongly suggest that you not use it reflexively, because it will lead to the problems you encountered. Instead, use just apt-get upgrade. When it fails on a package, you can try "apt-get install WHATEVER" and then you will get a chance to see just what it's going to try to do before it blows your system away. Thomas
