Looks like I need some as well.

After running apt-get upgrade and apt-get -f install I find that
apt-get has just exited part way through the installation of the new
packages.

I'd like to install the 2.4.7 kernel package but can't because
binutils is only partially installed. When I try to install binutils
the package manager barfs once again and exits without installing or
updating the package database.

Is there any way round this ? Debian 2.2 r3.

Thanks
