Florian's comments led me to recognize the link to ftp.nerim.net might be the problem. I commented out and was able to complete the upgrade though I still had to purge glibc-doc to resolve a conflict. After completing the upgrade I had no X-windows at all. strace /etc/init.d/gdm restart revealed no gdm in /usr/bin. I found it in /usr/sbin and was able to start the program from there. I can now switch back and forth between X-windows (Ctl-Alt-F7) and consoles (Ctl-Alt-F1, etc) with no problems. The Wacom mouse still does not work. I found and installed xserver-xorg-input-wacom but this has not helped. The Debian Changelog in /usr/share/doc/wacom-tools seems to indicate unresolved problems. I will wait for new updates.
