OK.  Did that. everything seemed fine after three dist-upgrades.

Then used aptitude to install golang.  When I started aptitude 
interactively, it found a few other packages that needed fixing.  I let 
it do that before installing golang.  Althout it had complained about 
only a fe packages, it ended up installing a very large number of 
packages -- hundreds.  I consider this suspicious.

THen I had it install golang and its dependencies.  It seemed to e doing 
that, but then the system crashed -- went to a state with a blank screen 
and a blinking cursor in the top left corner, completely unrsponsive to 
keyboard and mouse.

Evidently everything wasn't OK yet.

Rebooting didn't help; it rebooted I got the long list of messages as 
init put the system up, then back to the blank screen and a blinking 
cursor.


Any ideas?  Tomorrow I'll start fro scratch again unless someon has a 
better idea.  I could put the microsd card in an adaptor in my laptop's  
USB slot and see if I can see anything in the file system.

I could, of course, sk it to install a stretch version of Rapbian 
straightway and ignore the switch to Devuan.
