Re: Now: BROKEN apt-get dist-upgrade. Was: yp problem.
Howdy,
have a look at /var/lig/dpkg/*.list for a list of all files that should
be installed.
I had some trouble with apt-get on my system too. Altough certain packages
where available in the distribution (in the correct place and readable) apt-get
told me it couldn't install them. dpkg -i had no problem at all. Very strange.

Maybe a lack of diskspace?
