moin moin Mike,

interrupting an apt upgrade is usually OK, but it can leave packages in a
bad state. If one of those packages are important, then it can be a
challenge to recover.

In this particular case, you probably need to run "dpkg --configure -a"
and "apt-get -f install" to make sure your package database is in a
consistent state. After that do a new update and a new dist-upgrade just
to make sure everything is in order.

ciao,

I'm not sure I need to do anything with this now. I was upgrading with
apt-get and before it was done pressed cntrl-c before it was done. The last
thing it said was that the operation was interrupted. But when I ran the
command again the last line of the output said:

  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Do I need to worry about anything?
What about this file that won't upgrade?
