Sorry I can't really help with your problem, as the horse has left the
barn, so to speak..... but for future reference, and anyone reading
this, *never* dist-upgrade ubuntu.  (maybe ubuntu should patch apt-get
to throw up warnings when people try this?)

Rather, use one of the ubuntu upgrade scripts, available in gui and
console flavors (usually for Ubuntu server systems)
