Hi, Yesterday I tried to do dist-upgrade for the first time, run into problems and would appreciate some hints on how to solve them: 1) I have Knoppix 3.3 installed on my harddrive. Knoppix being Debian-based, I upgraded the packages and noticing that the KDE packages were being "kept back" I tried a dist-upgrade. 2) Some of the packages fail to install and nothing I have tried works so far. The errors I get are the following: ------------------------------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
