Thanks again for your help.

I just tried what you said. That is I did:
sudo apt-get clean
and it seems it did nothing. And I did check my disk. It is at 75%.

I then tried to upgrade as you said, and I had the same message than the
last time.
It seems that the package netcat-traditional always gets in the way, so
I tried different things to get rid of it.
First via Synaptic, then with 
apt-get -f remove netcat-traditional

and with 
apt-get --purge remove netcat-traditional

It always says 
"(Lecture de la base de données... 95%dpkg : erreur fatale irréversible,
abandon :
 la liste des fichiers pour le paquet « netcat-traditional » n'a pas de
retour à la ligne en fin de fichier
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)"

I have no idea how to get rid of it. If you have any idea I'd be most
welcome, though I guess you have more urgent and important things to
do. 

Thanks again. Have a nice day.
