I got the same sort of errors. I tried the '-f' (force) option (as suggested by some program) and it worked. I then killed it so I could go back to regular uprade mode (after libc and libstdc++ were upgraded) and had no real trouble, except that I occasionally got a Sub-process died error. As suggested, run 'dpkg --reconfigure -a', then kill it because (of course) the configure will fail with only some packages installed. Restart the dist-upgrade to continue where it left off before. Note that I may have been lucky in all of this to not have any disatrous side-effects, and I probably got some error messages along the way that I solved, and now don't remember.o HTH, -D
