Upgraded more or less uneventfully. Now on beowulf, but I haven't rebooted
yet, so am running on an old kernel.

I did aptitude update, and then, several times, aptitude upgrade.
Each upgrade seems to have done further things, and I'm not sure yet if
it has reached a fixed point.

Several packages have been left unconfigured: sendmail-bin, sendmail,
and sensible-mda.

I generally don't use sendmail, since I read and write mail on another
system. I don't know what sensible-mda is.

I'm using LXQt; its appearence has changed (without me explicitly restarting
it). In particular, the clock that used to be on the bottom bar has
disappeared. But the space it occupied is still there and reacts when I
click on it.

I will investigate when I'm awake. It's bedtime.
