  Notes:
  * Openoffice was installed by hand
  * nvidia driver was installed by hand using "envy"
  * The "X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 170" errors 
result from the wacom-entries in xorg.conf created by "envy" 
- * The problems seem to be starting here (snip from main.log):

  After that, lots of similar messages for "login" (!), "passwd" (!) and "sudo" 
(!!)
  This does not look good...
  
  === EDIT ===
  While I filed the above report, the "...recovery ... (dpkg --configure -a)" 
was still in progress.
  I left the machine unattended for a while. When checking back again, the 
update -manager window was gone.
  
- Trying to restart update-manager now yields a segmentation fault (!!)

  apt-get reports the update-manager to be the latest version, however.
  
  # aptitude dist-upgrade
  reports broken dependencies for open office (which is quite understandable 
regarding the fact that OOo is version 2.4.1-17, as opposed to 
2.3.0-1ubuntu5.4) and wants to install libneon, libsvg1 and libwpg.
  Moreover, nvidia-glx-new wants to be upgraded - after the update-manager had 
downgraded it from the version I had installed some time ago with "envy"...
  
  And, last not least, knetworkmanager is "unused" and marked for removal,
  which I do find kind of surprising - is there a replacement?
  
  Here is the complete list:

  I'm not sure if it is safe to reboot my system, regarding the
  aforementioned messages in main.log.
