One thing I forgot to mention in my first reply: Sometimes, if you happen to catch a mirror while it is in the process of updating, you may get a situation where two packages with dependencies on each other may be in an inconsistent state. For example, package A may be at the new level while package B is still at the old level. In these situations, aptitude update aptitude full-upgrade issued later, after the update is complete, may be all you need to solve the problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
