apt-get down :'(

[Virginie-ML <virginieml@free.fr>]

Hi all,

Sorry I'm new here and start with a question, which is not really
correct, but I've a real problem : I've just installed my debian and all
worked fine, then I upgraded to gnome-helix, installed slrn...and
now apt-get seems to be definitively broken and I don't understand Why
:'((

I tried to remove, purge, reinstall...nothing...I also tried dselect and
hold broken packages...still nothing :'(((
The number of broken packages is growing and standard ones also become
corrupted ...I fear it's serious...

Would anybody have an idea pleeeease ?..
