Subject: upgrade-reports: Had to manually remove umpteen packages to make upgrade proceed Package: upgrade-reports Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** I upgraded a host that had been installed with testing on Sat Oct 23 04:48:17 EEST 2004 (using Sarge installer, daily netinst.iso 2004-10-21) I guess problems during upgrade to etch were caused by numerous installed and removed packagas on this host, both Debian and third party programs. It was pretty hard to get the upgrade to complete, since it kept stopping. The error messages are in Finnish, sorry: ^MLuen tehtäväkuvauksia... 0% ^M^MLuen tehtäväkuvauksia... 2%^M^MLuen tehtäväkuvauksia... Valmis^M E: Virhe, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve tuotti katkoja, syynä voi olla pysytetyt paketit. E: En pysty korjaamaan riippuvuuksia; joitain paketteja ei voi asentaa E: Unable to resolve some dependencies! Joidenkin pakettien riippuvuuksia ei voinut tyydyttää. Tämä voi johtua antamistasi mahdottomista vaatimuksista tai, jos käytät epävakaata jakelua, siitä, ettei joitakin vaadittuja paketteja ole vielä saatavilla. Näillä paketeilla on tyydyttämättömiä riippuvuuksia: mozplugger: Riippuvuudet: libx11-6 mutta se ei ole asennettavissa tai xlibs (> 4.1.0) mutta se ei ole asennettavissa I had to by trial and error do aptitude remove ..this and that.. to get upgrade to proceed. I kept adding packages to the aptitude remove command until it magaded to actually do the remove. Seemed the best bet was to include all the packages mentioned in the error messages to the remove -command. I did finish the upgrade eventually and the host booted OK etc, so the upgrade worked. But it was a bit tiresome, could be easier. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15)
