Problem with apt-get
Hello,
I just installed Debian 2.2r2 on a Pismo from the official install CD, and
everything went fine. Yet I am facing some problems with apt-get:
/etc/apt/sources.list contains:
deb http://[mirror]/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://[mirror]/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
Running
# apt-get update
leads apt-get to download the corresponding "Packages" and "Release" files
without any error or warning messages.
Besides,
# apt-get check
doesn't report any dependency problems.
Yet when I run
# apt-get -d upgrade
I get the following output:
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tre...
The following packages have been kept back:
[long list of packages]
112 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 125 not upgraded.
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
debianutils: PreDepends: libc6 (>= 2.2.1) but 2.1.3-13 is to be installed.
E: Internal Error, InstallPackages was called with broken packages!
How can I avoid this?
'# dpkg -p libc6' shows that I already have version 2.1.3-13 installed, so
why doesn't apt-get just download the latestet version?
I also tried to download jed and links:
# apt-get -d install jed

Do you want to continue[Y/n]?
Why does apt-get wish to remove the GNU C++ compiler together with
libstdc++2.10-dev and the task-c++-dev?
Another try:
# apt-get -d install links

I am not sure, but I think that my installation of Debian is "sane" since I
installed it directly from the CD usind dselect and it didn't report any
problems with my choices - what am I doing wrong?
Thank you for any input,
Manuel
