You must correct the problems it lists before it will do anything. It'd be nice if a future version of apt-get could take note of these errors and fix them by itself during the next upgrade/dist-uprgade-dselect-upgrade run, instead of aborting at the "update" phase. Don't know how hard it'd be to do that, though... Christian
