Oh, that did the trick.
I originally tried 'apt-get -d install <package_name>'
Wasn't aware that you could actually run just 'apt-get -f install'.
Thanks for fixing the bug. That made it install/upgrade more than 100 packages.
Although right afterwards I ran 'apt-get dist-upgrade' again, it went a head and
downloaded close more than 100 packages, mostly the same as before, and
installed them all just fine.
I realize this wasn't an "error" per say. But it is unintentional behaviour. Bad
dependencies on upgrading a fresh install, according to information in the
official wiki. Something should be fixed shouldn't it? That is, if more folks
than me experienced it...

...Anyone? Hehe....

Cheers!
