Updating the Pi

I have a server running Jenkins at home and one of the jobs running on it is to update the Pi server that this website sits on. Well I finally got round to checking those jobs on Jenkins the other day and found that the update of my little Pi had been failing for a while.

I checked the logs and sure enough there was a broken dependency chain. So a bit of manual apt wrangling and the Pi can take upgrades again. In fact as I write this, it is upgrading everything. The worrying thing is that I do not know if it will break stuff, like the SDCARD with all the read/write operations it is currently doing. That would be bad.
