As a follow-up to my problem, installing scrollkeeper and then
ubuntu-desktop did get me a running Intrepid.

I had the additional problem that I only have the linux-386 package, and
not the linux (generic) package... This left me with an Intrepid but
with only the (not so fun) 2.6.25 kernel, as the linux-386 package must
still be referencing an older kernel. That should probably be a
separate bug.

I had the same problem. As soon as the upgrade reached the configuration
of rarian-compat it stopped with an error. All further errors were
because of dependencies to scrollkeeper, which is provided by rarian-
compat.

As others I installed scrollkeeper, finished the dist-upgrade and then
installed ubuntu-desktop (thus removing scrollkeeper and reinstalling
rarian-compat).

I had this problem with a clean install of hardy and another computer
which had the netbook-remix repo enabled. I read through the logs in
/var/log/dist-upgrade but the only information I could get from them was
that it stopped at rarian-compat.
