If the user was upgrading inside a major version (eg. from one 0.27
fixes build to a newer 0.27 fixes build) then there is no reason to do
the "full dist-upgrade", as no new packages were being installed. What
probably happened is that the failed mythexport installation causing
the rest of the packages to be in a half configured state.
