'apt-get dist-upgrade --fix-missing' for 2-3 weeks now. That is a big backlog in unstable.
The key message seems to be
E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/dpkg/status (1)
'apt-get update' gives me the message
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://mirror.pacific.net.au unstable/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.pacific.net.au_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/dpkg/status (1)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

The error message for 'apt-get dist-upgrade --fix-missing' follows. I'd welcome any constructive advice.
