  Thanks for the reply -- I lost Grammostola's message due to some
confusion with my email (not permanently, but it's trapped on a laptop
until I sync my mail up again).

  I'm guessing from that backtrace that the version string of an
"upgradable" package's "current" version is NULL.  That might mean that
it has no current version, but then why should it be upgradeable?

  Could you please send the output of "aptitude search '?upgradable'"?

    Thanks,
  Daniel
