Well, that was a long few days. I've finally uploaded a version of aptitude that works with the new apt to unstable. There are a few bugs I haven't been able to reproduce, but it should be better than the broken NMU that's sitting there now.

Is there a correct downgrade > procedure listed anywhere? You might still have the older versions of apt and aptitude in your package cache. Check the output of: ls /var/cache/apt/archives/apt_0.6.46.4-0.1* ls /var/cache/apt/archives/aptitude_0.4.4-4* If you still have the two .deb files then you can install them with: dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/apt_0.6.46.4-0.1* dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/aptitude_0.4.4-4* Another possibility is to add a line for "testing" to your /etc/apt/sources.list, run "apt-get update" and then do apt-get install apt/testing aptitude/testing Officially, downgrades are "not supported", but I think in this case it should work out. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Note that it may be a few days before a new aptitude is uploaded: the new apt interacts badly with aptitude and I need to track down why. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(The newest version of synaptic already depends on > the newest version of apt.) Bingo! 0.7.2 is installed. Problem explained if not solved. I'll wait. Thanks.

This new version provides the virtual package libapt-pkg-libc6.5-6-4.4. Aptitude still depends on libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11 which was provided by the previous version of apt (0.6.46.4-0.1). You have to wait until a new version of aptitude becomes available or you have to downgrade both apt and synaptic again. (The newest version of synaptic already depends on the newest version of apt.) Somebody already filed a bug against aptitude (#428616). -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Aptitude can't upgrade Apt!
Running Sid. Some time ago I started getting this message from sudo aptitude update : Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... 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: The following packages have unmet dependencies: aptitude: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11 but it is not installable E: Broken packages In the meantime I have upgraded Synaptic, which Synaptic told me required Aptitude to be removed. I dunno why. But it removed it, and now I can't re-install it because of the missing dependacy. This is my sources list. Am I missing something ?? deb ftp://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/debian/ sid main non-free contrib deb ftp://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/debian-multimedia/ sid main Searching the mailing list I saw someone with a similar problem a few months back but that was after he downloaded and installed a version of Aptitude that wasn't for Sid Help anyone?
