Hi leloft,

if you have a log of the upgrade, we can have a look into it. It is
not too unusual to have to issue an "apt-get -f install" during a
dist-upgrade, depending on how much up-to-date your distro was and on
how many releases had passed since you did your first fresh install (I
am sure I am not alone in having had a server with a Sarge/testing,
which got all the way through Wheezy/stable over 7 or 8 years).
