If you force remove the ximian stuff, you should be able to get the proper packages from woody. I thought this was in a previous post, but maybe not. If I am repeating it, sorry.

Re: problem in upgrade to testing
Thank you. This helped. I've now been able to do apt-get dist-upgrade followed by apt-get -f install several times. Each time, it gets through a handful (20-30?) packages before it bombs and I have to run the forced install. I'm down to about a hundred packages left to install, and I got an error message with libgnomeprint-bin: knucklesucker:/home/jwl# apt-get -f install Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Correcting dependencies... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libgnomeprint-bin 1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 96 not upgraded. 18 packages not fully installed or removed.

Hi, Just do this. It should work. It's worked for a number of people that I have helped with the same problem on IRC at irc.openprojects.net in #debian. If you visit there, come and say hi to me :-).

Re: problem in upgrade to testing
OK, after changing my sources.list file to what you have below, I did apt-get clean apt-get autoclean apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade, and when I got the error messages, I did apt-get -f install. It downloaded more packages, but as soon as the downloads were finished it crashed and I got this error: Fetched 11.7MB in 50s (234kB/s) perl: error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt returned an error code (127) E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt what is libdb.so.3? Should I somehow try to temporarily install that so apt will work again? I'm a bit over me head here, sorry...

I just kept doing this and eventually got there. Obviously there are some dependency problems that aren't resolved yet regarding the upgrade.

Re: problem in upgrade to testing
Does your sources.list include non-us? The crypto stuff (including libssl) is hosted on server outside of the US for legal reasons. So, you may need to add a line like this: deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free Nathan On Sunday 19 August 2001 09:57 pm, James Lindenschmidt wrote: > Greetings, everyone. > > Thanks to previous advice I was able to initiate the apt-get dist-upgrade > (I got my sources.list configured properly), but I am still getting errors. > It downloaded several hundred packages, but I got the following error > messages when it came time to install: > > Unpacking replacement kdevelop ... > Errors were encountered while processing: > /var/cache/apt/archives/ssh_1%3a2.5.2p2-3_i386.deb > /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs3-crypto_4%3a2.1.2-1_i386.deb > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) > > There were other errors previous to that, but it looks like this is the one > that crashed everything.
