update problem
Hi,
I am using debian sparc/linux unstable. After the last
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade I have following problem.
gnome-session (gnome-panel, gnome-panel-data, gnome-terminal)
wont install or remove anymore.
eg:
apt-get install gnome-session
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Sorry, gnome-session is already the newest version.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

but gnome-session is not installed, as I cannot start gnome anymore.
trying to remove the package gives this error:
apt-get remove gnome-session

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

I have tried to remove gnome-gv, ... and all packages dpkg is warning
about, also I have tried to install all the packages - no results.
I also tried to make apt-get -f install - no results.
What I am doing wrong, or how this can be solved?
regards
