    Sorry to be silent on this for so long, I have been trying to use Axel's
    advice. The technique outlined in bug report 334 allowed me to remove
    all duplicate packages and allowed
        apt-get update
    to complete with no errors or warnings.

    However, when I run
        apt-get dist-upgrade
    it offers to remove my entire system

    I've included the output from the command below, but I'm thinking of
    switching over to yum. It seems to work better on this system.

    Why does apt-get say it wants to remove all those packages? I especially
    don't understand what's happening with bash, grep, sed, gawk, etc.
    Shouldn't those be left alone? As you can see I aborted the run when it
    asked me if I wanted to continue.

    Carl.
