[Server-devel] Raspbian's "apt upgrade" is currently broken

[Adam Holt]

FYI, Internet-in-a-Box 6.5's install scripts (at
http://download.iiab.io/6.5/rpi/ -- whose release is extremely close!) did
NOT cause this :-)

Example error, when running "apt dist-upgrade" on a virgin Raspbian Desktop
2017-11-29:

Plz monitor below for a fix, hopefully arriving very quickly from the
Raspberry Pi Foundation in coming days:
