Bug#315723: Testing Upgrade - Aptitude

[Russell Jones]

Package: vim-gtk   I don’t know if this really belongs in a bug report, but some ops in [EMAIL PROTECTED] told me to file a bug report about it.  I asked if they were sure and they said yes.   The problem is not being able to successfully run aptitude dist-upgrade.  Please see details below (if anything further is needed I’ll be happy to supply the necessary information):         ************************ **  system details  ** ************************ dyke:~# uname -a Linux dyke 2.4.27-1-686 #1 Fri Sep 3 06:28:00 UTC 2004 i686 GNU/Linux dyke:~# cat /etc/debian_version 3.1     ******************************* **  /etc/apt/sources.list  ** ******************************* dyke:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list # apt sources   deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free   deb ftp://debian.mirror.cygnal.ca/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://debian.mirror.cygnal.ca/debian/ testing main contrib non-free   #deb ftp://bougyman.com unstable main     ************************* **  aptitude update  ** ************************* dyke:~# aptitude update Reading Package Lists...
