Ah.  Well, that does the trick.  Thanks!

Weirdly I had to upgrade twice before it wanted to do some upgrades - 
first time just fetched digests.txz and claimed nothing to do, then it 
fetched digests.txz and packagesite.txz and found 63 upgrades.

Indeed hopefully it will get better, would have hopes sqlite 
transactions would be robust.
