Bug description:
  doing a do-release-upgrade -d i noticed a couple oddities:
  1. asked to set up DECnet. never had to do this before. i think it's a nmap dependency so i figured by reinstalling it i could get it all figured out.
  2. at some point though i could use ssh without problem http and icmp wasn't working.
  of course, now i'm here. maybe this was random?
