This probably isn't too helpful, but why not just back up your data and
do a clean install of 9.10 at this point?
i tried upgrading my 64-bit 9.04 installation, and got pretty well hosed
when one key package (rarian-compat) couldn't update. Booted from a live
cd and downloaded it manually, still couldn't get it to install, so i
just repartitioned my drive, formatted to ext4, did a clean install,
restored my data & additional apps. That took a little less time the the
botched upgrade and attempts to fix it.
