Neither them work. Sorry, I should have said that.
Since I've updated last, now if I try "apt-get upgrade" I get:
# apt-get -s --ignore-hold upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages have been kept back
cygnus-stylesheets debian-policy expect5.24 gsfonts gsfonts-x11
libxml-generator-perl
213 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
am-utils: dpkg-perl: Depends: perl5
Depends: libnet-perl but 1.0703-4.1 is to be installed
libgtk-perl: Depends: libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.0) but 1.2.10-1 is to be installed
Conflicts: libgtk-imlib-perl (< 0.7000) but it is not going to be installed
mesag3+ggi: Depends: libggi2 (> 1:1.99.2.0b2.1) but 1:1.99.2.0b3.1-2.1 is to be installed
Depends: xlib6g (>= 3.3.6-4) but 4.0.3-4 is to be installed
Conflicts: libgl1
pspell-ispell: Depends: libstdc++2.10 but 1:2.95.2-14 is to be installed
task-c-dev: Depends: task-devel-common but 0.7 is to be installed
E: Internal Error, InstallPackages was called with broken packages!
I don't really understand some of these messages; for example
libgtk-perl says it depends on libgtk1.2 >= 1.2.0 but 1.2.10-1 is to be
installed... well, 1.2.10-1 _is_ >= 1.2.0, isn't it?
Is that last line normal in this situation, or does it mean that
something more sinister is going on?
If I try "apt-get dist-upgrade" now it doesn't fail, but:
# apt-get --ignore-hold dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following packages will be REMOVED:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
defoma dialog expect libxml-enno-perl
The following packages have been kept back
cygnus-stylesheets debian-policy
214 packages upgraded, 4 newly installed, 29 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
Well, some of those I don't care about, like konqueror (I just wanted to
try it out). But I can't lose am-utils, that's critical to my system!
Likewise gv, pspell-ispell, and a few others.
What's going on here?
