At some point somehow grup-pc apparently got installed, even with the script failure.  So I tried my dist-upgrade again, and seems to have completed almost 400 packages, but three still fail:
Errors were encountered while processing:
 linux-image-2.6.38-2-amd64
 grub-pc
 linux-image-2.6-amd64
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I can't reboot at this point, as on this machine I started a 'balance' through ssh on another machine, and it's been running for over 12 hours.  It does not respond to ^C and I'm afraid to reboot with it running.
