In my post I should have said: Instead of using apt-get, next time use 
apt -f install or aptitude -f install because the newer apt is also 
verbose like aptitude is. Aptitude is old but still verbose. Personally 
I use all of Debian's tools and when there is a problem, the more 
verbose the better.

Interesting, both aptitude and gdebi got upgrades in the wee hours of my 
morning.  Thank you Debian. :)
