upgrade to frozen failed.
after a really successful upgrade of a slink machine to potato (a
server) i got excited and tried to do an upgrade on a workstation(with
pretty much everything from slink installed compared to a pretty bare
installation on the server) and it failed.
the package im hung at is gimp-manual.
if i try apt-get dist-upgrade:

Need to get 0B/198MB of archives. After unpacking 71.2MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
E: Internal Error, Couldn't configure a pre-depend
any way to fix that ? or should i try just upgrade (below):
if i just try an apt-get upgrade :
it says the same thing about the packages and when i say Y it goes:
Setting up gimp-manual (1.0.0-4) ...
dhelp_parse: You can add only directories under /usr/doc!
dpkg: error processing gimp-manual (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
gimp-manual
E: Sub-process returned an error code (1)
how can i get around this? i can't force it, i cant remove it no matter
what i do, is there some way i can tell dpkg to ignore it? or force remove
it? or edit a file somewhere so it doesnt know its there? help!!
