God,

	I knew this upgrade was going to cause me to lose sleep :p I decided to upgrade
another i586 box to compare how the upgrade went on box 2. The boxes are
essentially identical. There were a few additional problems on the second box:

The first problem caused the update to fail on missing dependencies because
phonon wasn't installed. Installing it cured the first problem:

The next problem was a conflict with kde-meta-kdepim (which I guess is just the
old wrapper for all the kdepim packages) Removing it allowed the upgrade to proceed:

Now the second box is updating:


Total Download Size:    248.49 MB
Total Installed Size:   2925.49 MB

Whew almost 3G! Can't wait to see what we get :-) I'll report back if the same
segfaults occur during the upgrade.
