Re: libsc7_2.3.1-3_amd64.deb problems
Hi:
I found an e-mail from you dated Aug 22 2006 (and about amd64) that may clarify:

Usually that message means you have it installed, but it is no longer
available for download from one of the sites in your sources.list
(assuming it ever was).
Since it actually appears to be one of the packages that comes from
mpqc, you should download it from where you downloaded the mpqc packages
from.

Well, from present information is it possible to indicate how to remove those files/scripts that generate the error messages, and let lenny do upgrading correctly? Someone has kindly suggested to carry out again a dist-upgrade, though I suspect that with my system the final outcome would be the same.
Thanks
