And today I did aptitude update and aptitude upgrade in the CLI instead 
of in the interactive apttude.  Just about everything just worked, 
except for 3 packages:
  elogind
  libpam-elogind
  libelogind0
They do nog get upgraded.

Following this with
  aptitude dist-upgrade
tells me these will be upgraded, but then balks, telling me to remove 
  libpam-elogind 

How safe is this?  isn't elogind kind of important?

I'm still just upgrading from ascii to ascii.  beowulf not in my sights 
yet.
