Hmm, and same again this morning, at which point I twigged: the apt
unattended-upgrades job intended to install security updates is
helpfully upgrading django back to 'current' every night, because I
forgot to put a 'hold' on the old 1.7 version to keep it there.

Fixed now (with the rather baroque syntax of holds):
echo "python-django hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "python-django-common hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "python-django-doc hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

All this is in my 'recipie' file. I'll copy that onto the server.

Then found another instance of a hardcoded 'all.svx'.

Script is still running...
Maybe we'll get to the end this time...
