Use "update-manager -c -d" over apt-get/aptitude, as it will perform some other pre- and post- install procedures that apt won't do...
Regarding debconf, you'll probably be ok with the old version for the time being (it's failed to install the new version, so your old version is still intact). Later on once your upgrade has completed, use update-manager again to see if there are any more - debconf is likely to be in the list of updatable packages, and then you can give it another go :-) Kris On 10/12/07, Michael Holloway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 2007-10-12 at 12:08 +0100, Tony Arnold wrote: > > Michael, > > > > On Fri, 2007-10-12 at 11:57 +0100, Michael Holloway wrote: > > > > > Well I've just double backed up everything, and started the upgrade > > > process!!!
