I upgraded a couple potato systems to woody and then sid and got very similar errors. apt-get dist-upgrade got stuck at a point like this. I finally did apt-get install libgnomesupport0 libgnomeui32 gnome-libs-data (or maybe it was just gnome-libs-data; sorry I'm not sure) which worked, and then I went back to dist-upgrade and continued. I have two more potato systems to upgrade. I think I'll try purging helix stuff first as suggested. ...RickM...
