Thanks for the suggestion, but having re-read the description of
dist-upgrade it is unclear to me how this will resolve my problem. I
have already done an "apt-get update" and an "apt-get upgrade", which
resulted in no changes because as far as apt-get is concerned, it
appears my system is up to date. What will dist-upgrade do differently?
In particular, I'm on 13.10, with 14.04 available - I would not want
apt-get to start trying to install version 14.04!

Is dist-upgrade "safe" in that sense?

Regards, K.
