Package: aptitude I've attached a text file with output from aptitude upgrade command that was run on my computer. There are errors with ifupdown, gnome-menus, dmsetup, gconf2. I've searched the bug reports, and did not find any bugs already submitted with these symptoms.
If any additional info is needed, I'll follow up as necessary. If this is a duplicate, please respond with the bug report number so that I can track for a solution. Thanks, Mark
