Here's what I do: 1. apt-get update 2. apt-get dist-upgrade -uf if this breaks then, 3. dpkg --configure -a then 4. apt-get dist-upgrade -uf (the -f flag is especially important here)
and repeat 3-4 until it finishes. Sometimes I might apt-get install or remove a package that is explicitly mentioned by apt, but that above procedure seems to work for me. YMMV, of course.
