New woody upgrade problems
Hey there Debianites,
Like a junkie unable to resist the fix, I did an apt-get upgrade
today. Now I have problems getting the upgrade to complete. During the
upgrade, I got this error:
Preparing to replace xlibs 4.0.1-10 (using .../xlibs_4.0.1-12_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xlibs ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.0.1-12_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults', which is also in package xmcd
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Now when I run apt-get upgrade to try to finish things off, I get:
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
libxaw7: Depends: xlibs (>= 4.0.1-11) but 4.0.1-10 is installed
xvncviewer: Depends: xlibs (>= 4.0.1-11) but 4.0.1-10 is installed
I've tried each of these commands to no avail:
apt-get -f install
apt-get -f install xlibs
apt-get -f install libxaw7 xvncviewer
apt-get -f remove xmcd
All of them give the last error I listed above (or cognates).
Any suggestions? (Besides "avoid woody" or "it's called 'unstable' for
a reason" :-)
Cheers,
Dan
