Thanks for the reply!
Nothing is happening! Every thing I have tried with apt-get
just returns 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
And dpkg --configure -a
produces no output at all.
I would be happy if I could just start from the beginning but I can't
figure out how to do that. All the --force options I have tried don't
have any effect either.

So what's happening? Do you have a half configured package, and dpkg
attempts to finish the configuration and fails?
Does a dpkg --configure -a tell you anything interesting?

Subject: apt-get dist-upgrade abended!
Greetings;
I started to upgrade Debian and everything was going along fine
when it tried to install and activate Appletalk or some such thing
and couldn't do it. So, it just quit!
Seems to be an mmmm, shall we say inconvenient thing to do! That
doesn't sound like a terminal error to me!
But the immediate problem is I can't figure out how to restart it,
re-do it, undo it, or anyting else!
Anybody know what the recovery procedures are in this situation?
Many TIA!
Dennis
