When I lived on unstable and got behind on new packages, I
learned (I think it was from Bob Proulx) that a two-step
process of apt-get upgrade, followed by apt-get dist-upgrade
was more likely to succeed than straight dist-upgrade.
Now I'm happy and thankful to be further away from the bleeding edge.
