 i upgraded to gutsy last night...all packages were fetched and upgrade proceeded...i fell asleep...in the morning i checked progress, but xscreensaver password lock was on...password wouldn't work (no, caps lock wasn't on).  i assumed upgrade was finished, so dropped to console and 'sudo reboot'...first boot got fsck errors, but could get to login screen, but got other errors.  rebooted again and no fsck errors.  tried apt-get irssi to come here for help, but was prompted to 'dpkg -a' first, which started the installation of packages that didn't get installed prior to my xscreensaver lock reboot.  when that was finished, got a couple more errors, then logged into my user account.  notification daemon said i had 504 updates available, so i updated and rebooted again.  i'm not 100 percent sure upgrade was successful, things things _seem_ OK now.  my question is: how do i check for system integrity that upgrade was successful and that old versions have been removed (because i have a lot of old 'fiesty' packages listed as 'broken' now in synaptic...sorry for the long-winded message!
