How do I get out of this circularity? I have a range of other 32bit machines, but do not dare try after the current experience.

I updated my newer 64bit machine, all of which have a DVD reader, and that
has gone very smoothly. Today I tried to update the first of the 32bt
machines, and it is a disaster. I have spend 4 hrs waiting and clicking
and I am getting nowhere
The machine is a server; no Gnome or KDE, with CD. Rather old (500MHz,
512Mb Pentium III). When I try to update it gets to the analysis and
requires a manual intervention for some packages (including ALSA and
other core stuff to me). It takes ages to check dependencies and I can
resolve the things it throws up, until I get a timeout while checking
dependencies. I can double the time, and double the time .... but it
never resolves, and so I cannot continue with teh installation.
