upgrade problem
HI list,
Igot a package, acpid, which does not want to upgrade. I tried to remove it,
re-install it but nothing work. Here is the error message I get:
The following packages will be upgraded:
acpid libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-common libpango1.0-dev libpangomm-1.4-1
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
acpi-support-base
5 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/907kB of archives. After unpacking 127kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
