Oops - yeah, it was woody, not potato. > > I'm most upset because EMACS is currently broken. > > > > Can't you fix it by removing navigator-smotif-477 and finishing the > upgrade with something like apt-get -f install ? apt-get is stuck in the middle of doing a dist-upgrade. If I try to do an apt-get -f install, I get the x11-common error that I'm reporting. If I try to do an apt-get remove navigator-smotif, apt-get says 'you're in the middle of something. Try doing a -f install to force it to complete, and then do the remove'. I'm a little frustrated at this point. If there is a way to tell the dist-upgrade to just ignore all the navigator packages (better yet, delete and ignore them!) in the middle of the dist-upgrade, I'd LOVE to implement it. But I don't know anywhere near enough about apt-get to have any idea how to do that. -- Scott Raun [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
