Thanks. I tried that and it the system is now in a worse state with a half-installed
koha-common package.  There was an error in the installation of koha-common:

... Setting up koha-common (16.12.01~git+20170202001109.c65a151f) ...",
"dpkg: error processing package koha-common (--configure):", "
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
status 1", "Errors were encountered while processing:", " koha-common[}

I tried configuring the half-installed koha-common manually via ssh,
in an attempt to figure out what went wrong (see below).  It's a bit
too much for me to understand right now.  I'll wait a week and try to
start from scratch again.
