Hi all.

It's time for the weekly update on my server and for some reason the
bleedin thing keeps reporting an error.

If this makes sense to anybody I would appreciate a pointer to how it can
be fixed.  The system has already played up a bit tonight and I've had to
run -f several times just to complete the download of packages.  Now I
cannot complete the proccess.  I have been wondering if there are maybe a
lot of packages being updated centrally and perhaps I have simply chosen a
rash moment to upgrade?

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
