Nothing.

Looks like it just built the dependency tree, database etc., and did
nothing further. And looking at the history I see only the updates that
were performed today prior to trying the command.

Anyway, if you come up with something later I'm happy to give it a go.
Doesn't matter if it blows the install as it's only a test drive anyway
and only contains fresh (8.04.1) server, desktops etc., so there aren't
any oddball packages to worry about.
