Thanks again for explaining everything.
After continuing through a few more upgrades (actually, I got the word that I should now be using "safe-upgrade", so was using
that when I remembered), I'm now almost fully up to date (kde wants to uninstall itself when I try to upgrade kdebase, so I'm
putting that off for a week or so to see if it works better after available packages are built on the other end). I really
appreciate all the assistance,

aptitude-create-state-bundle doesn't apparently exist on my system -- was
this a relatively recent addition to aptitude? (it may have been a year or
slightly longer since I've upgraded aptitude)
Yes, it was added in version 0.4.6. All it really does is make a
compressed archive of the following files/directories:
/var/lib/aptitude
/var/lib/apt
/var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin
/var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin
/etc/apt
/var/lib/dpkg/status
...but I find it's easier to tell people to run it than to tell them
to make a compressed archive of a half-dozen cryptically named items. :)
