Hi all, I am now running the Woody XFree86 backport. I then thought I'd be a nutter and go for Gnome 2.2 as well. But Gnome didn't want to install, perhaps I should have removed something first, so I backed it out.
I think some crud is left somewhere - I need to install debhelper but can't: brain:~# apt-get install debhelper Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: debhelper: Depends: debconf-utils but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages brain:~# apt-get install debconf-utils Reading Package Lists...

Can someone please explain what is going on? I suspect that the updated debconf might have been installed as part of gnome 2.2 dependencies, but that's just a hunch, and anyway, it's a later version than is required.
