So far, so good. When following those dependencies, it ultimately leads to xlibs, where it reads: xlibs (> 4.2.0) but 4.1.0-16 is to be installed Huh, I mean, what should that tell me?? If doing an apt-cache policy xlibs, there is a 4.2.1-9 install candidate, and when checking http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xfree86/ there is obviously a binary available too. Furthermore, apt-get -u -t unstable install xlibs doesn't mention any problems. What is the problem? I am seeing this behaviour an all of my boxen, soit does not seem to be triggered by strange package combinations et al.Hard to tell without seeing exactly what you're doing and the full output.
Hmm, well, basically I wanted to do # apt-get -u -t unstable install gnome-sessionon one of my boxen (which is running woody ATM). This gets me a list of broken dependencies, and apt-get quits. Following those deps, I end up everywhere on said xlibs dependency (which, to be honest, I don't understand, why does it want to install 4.1.0-16 when it wants a version greater then 4.2.0 and such a version [4.2.1-9] is even available?). And of course, I've got unstable in my /etc/apt/sources.list.. ;)
What more do you think should I post? I don't think it's really sensible to post *all* of those broken deps, since they ultimately lead to xlibs anyway?
