Thanks, Mark. Now that you mention this, I seem to recall that one of my
upgrade processes spent a long time (like 2-3 hours) doing something but
agreed to upgrade at the end. It may indeed then have been checking
dependencies.
It is true that my box doesn't completely freeze either, hard disk light
just flashes every 29 secs, followed with another flash 5 secs later,
then 29 secs later and so on.
I'll give upgrade another try tonight...
