RE: apt-get has turned against me
Isaac,
I'm not sure if this will work for you or not, but are the said .deb files
in /var/cache/apt/archive/partial by any chance? If so remove them from
there. Could be a corrupt download I think. If they are in
/var/cache/apt/archive i'd be tempted to delete said affected .debs as well.
Go via dselect if you. Run dselect from the prompt, choose your source (in
this case i'd go with option 6 (I think it's six) which is apt. Then run
thru each step at a time that is presented. Check for any required
dependencies.

PS I had similar problems to this when going to kde 3.0.3 and this
suggestion worked for me.

Subject: apt-get has turned against me
Ever since I ran apt-get dist-upgrade on my newton installation
(from a Progeny Debian 2.2 CD set), apt-get has been fubarred.
Here's what's happening. If anyone has an idea about how to fix
this I would love to hear it:

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
at: Depends: mail-transport-agent
elm-me+: Depends: mail-transport-agent
mailx: Depends: smail but it is not going to be installed or
mail-transport-agent
mutt: Depends: exim or
mail-transport-agent
progeny-bug: Depends: mail-transport-agent
quake2: Depends: libsdl1.2debian (> 1.2.3) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: quake2-data but it is not installable
vm: Depends: smail but it is not going to be installed or
sendmail but it is not going to be installed or
mail-transport-agent
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).

Where do I get the signed debs, or how do I tell apt-get to shut up and
install?
Many thanks,
