I am not really sure, if one can call this "Solved", because now your dependency tree will be broken and you won't be able to use apt-get/aptitude until you remove xfree86-driver-synaptics, right? That's the situation here for me anyways.

I don't quite understand, why "xfree86-driver-synaptics" has broken dependencies, maybe one of you can clarify this for me:
In Aptitude it says something like (freely translated ;-)):

"Some dependencies of xfree86-driver-synaptics are not met:
It depends on xserver-xfree86 (>4.1.0) (provided by xserver-xfree86-dbg 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14, xserver-xorg 6.8.2-7debian1-2)"

where the latter one is bold (meaning it is installed). Now why does it call this a broken dependency?

I'd be glad to somehow really solve this, because I am not able to install/update anything with apt right now.

Thanks a lot,
Frank
