After trying a bunch of suggestions from Axel, we found that the
following works:

Before the apt-get dist-upgrade, try emptying /etc/apt/preferences, then doing:

apt-get update
apt-get install rpm librpm4.4 apt atrpms-package-config fedora-release beecrypt
apt-get dist-upgrade

The second line is probably not necessary once the preferences file is
cleared, but I didn't explicitly try omitting it.  See

for more details.
