I get a code (1) on every dist-upgrade for some time now..maybe two weeks, can't
remember but if I run:

apt-get -f install

apt-get goes on to setup the packages it downloaded.

If the dist-upgrade message says it it going to remove a lot of packages I run
instead:

apt-get -u upgrade

I continue this command until a dist-upgrade returns to sanity.
