Thanks. I'm already familiar with CentOS/Scientific from a past life
working with RHEL systems. Now I'm 100% Debian and Ubuntu, but I also

Usually these issues aren't critical enough to require a package update to
be fixed; there may be a way to change files a bit to fix the issue enough
to be able to run the updates. Care to share what 'apt-get -f install'
