Ugh... that brought a whole new list of packages (and problems :-\) it 
seems that my version of gnu/linux (fiesty era) doesn't have/can't find 
the repositories for several of the required packages/updates/upgrades. 
I tried apt's suggestion of adding the --fix-missing option to no avail. 
Is there another way to make this work? I *really* don't want to rebuild 
this server (actually, I'm not sure I *can* rebuild this server...). Thanks
