Hi Joris,
When I add either the --force-depends or the --force-all option to the

When I then do an apt-get -f install, I get the same familiar failure as

I may have to save what I can and reinstall my

However, in changing testing to unstable throughout

Hi,
You need to obtain a program called ddclient from the dyndns.org site,
which you run on your system. It will check to see if dyndns.org has the
correct IP address every few minutes, and tell dyndns.org about it when
it changes.
