That all looked fine... (I didn't mean to over-ride Andrei there).

Kind of redundant now that you've used aptitude to upgrade - if you
hadn't I'd have then asked for the output of "apt-get -s upgrade".
In this case it looks I'd ask for the output of:-
# apt-get -sf dist-upgrade

I'd probably put squeeze-backports higher than squeeze (stable), or at
least equal. Maybe see what Andrei suggests.

Sorry - I have no suggestions there.

You can use the Debian news gateway - you can even just respond directly
to through the archive. eg:- go to:-
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/01/author.html
find yourself:-
bottom of that page
open the relevant thread:-
(notice how there's four threads instead of just one?)
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/01/author.html
go to the bottom of the post and click on one of the "Replyto:" links.
In this example you'd be replying to yourself!
But normally you use the "next in thread" links below it to find someone
else's response to you post (that one it the one I'm replying to)
This method will either open a Reply in claws (keeping the thread
intact) or open a prompt from your browsers asking which program to
associate mailto: links with (choose claws).
> There is far too much traffic on that list of yours.
That sounds reasonable - though I'd suggest you consider a different
strategy for dealing with gmane - you have created several different
threads where there should have been just one. Most people manage to use
gmane without that happening - and broken threads creates an extra level
of difficulty which can cause people to decide it's too much hassle to
try and help you.
Perhaps some of the other gmane users can suggest ways for you to keep
track of threads.
The alternative - whereby you only receive emails to questions you posed
is to use the method I outlined above.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
