Binary package hint: libgail-common

This is the tail end of a troublesome attempt to try out Intrepid (alpha
5 I think) as grabbed from repositories today.

Previous installation was Gutsy and upgrade is now almost complete but
with package state not quite ideal as the end of this bug report will
detail

dpkg --install libgail-common_1.22.3-1_i386.deb

Here is the contents of /etc/lsb-release which still refers to the previous installation [Gutsy]

DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10"

Here is a clue to the not quite ideal package state but I am about to reboot and am fairly confident that Intrepid will work okay but
the package state will need some attention before I can enable automatic updates.
