Cheryl, Were you using apt-get, or aptitude? I have found that aptitude is a much smarter tool than apt-get, and gives you much more information about what will be happening during an upgrade so you can cancel if it appears you might lose an important application if you proceed. In those cases, I would just say no thanks, not today thanks, and usually in a day or two the situation is once again safe to proceed. apt-get is not nearly as careful as aptitude in that respect.
