I have a strange problem with apt-get. I installed a package manually with dpkg after apt-get ran into a conflict and since then apt-get does not upgrade anything. It gives: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Calculating Upgrade... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded for upgrade, dist-upgrade and dselect-upgrade as well. I did run apt-get update it seems to get the new package lists but no effect when trying to upgrade. I use the unstable distribution. Could anyone help? I'm pretty much a newbie.
So first of all I think I have to ask this question: Are you sure Unstable (sic!) is good for you? As a newbie, having apparent lack of background? Sometimes it requires a lot of work and knowledge, whereas some problems are easy to fix or circumvent. Regarding your 'problem' I seems like it's just strange coincidence. You heard about the recent break-in into Debian infrastructure? Since then no new packages flow in to Unstable, so you can't upgrade any. And as you didn't specify your 'conflict' I can't say anything about that... Cheers, Flo
